Well, especially in showbiz and gambling, eh? I don't gamble though or play the lottery but maybe its not too late. DreamFactory Entertainment LLC had its time with Kickstarter a month ago and the results were something of a disappointment really. So we won't be wasting our precious time on that anymore or at least for awhile on any crowdfunding platforms. Moving forward. On to bigger and better things. Investors welcome to secretly get in touch. Executive Producers come on in. Sponsors let's make a deal.

Can you look back and point to anything you can see that might have caused the crowdfund to fail?
Hello James. These things happen. You never know what to expect. No, not that i recall? We had a video introduction, and great perks or merchandise to offer. But not a lot of banners and fancy stuff that advertised the film. We preadvertised or promoted it well in advance though.

Did you have a long email list and social media push? Crowdfunding is a campaign and most fail because people think there is tons of traffic to a platform.... no platform promotes you, you have to do it yourself. For instance, VET TV raised over $300K in a crowdfunding campaign but it cost them 10s of thousands and hundreds of hours to do, and they were connected directly to a large audience who they could market to...
Ah ha! That was the issue. No email list. snapping finger Yeah, I'm familiar with Marketing. We haven't fully set that division up yet here at DreamFactory.
Disney made $2B alone in B.O. on Frozen and another $2B on just one dress in merchandizing. And the Superbowl although I don't watch, spends millions for advertising. Lucrative business we're in.
Tom when you say pre advertised, how?
hi tom, I think you have an interesting concept for your film lunch. for financing, you do not offer many hooks besides that. you have no name director or actors, that is something you'd need to convince distributors that will sell the movie and actually recoup the money invested. but this obviously something you could work on.
James Drago pre advertised? I didn't say that
Thank You Willem, four words, George Lucas STAR WARS. 20th wanted A list talent to star in the so called skeptical Saturday morning kids movie but George persisted and got his way having now ultra famous Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford and to what we all owe his genius intuitive decision making to, he bet the farm literally and it paid off. Relax, I have Faith
You do not always need A-List Talent folks. This business we are in is very unpredictable, especially nowadays, and anyone who claims they have a guaranteed template for success, well, you figure it out
George Lucas was an Oscar nominated Director with a box office hit, "American Graffiti", well before Star Wars.
Tommy Luca That’s George Lucas you’re talking about. The guy behind the Indiana Jones series. You need some reality check.
