Try Wefund, good website, easy to sign up but make sure you tell the world you are on there. There is a deadline for how long you stay 'live', use it to its full.

crowdfunding works best when you have a community or email list to market to. Trying to do it without having a list first is a tough go. In an online world...communities and affinity groups are everything. Work on building your list and community and you will have more chances at a successful crowdfunding campaign.

Well I'd like to think that we could show that Stage 32 is part of a successful crowdfunding campaign... For just $10 you could get credited in a film, get an online copy of the film .... and help fight cancer. I'm doing a fundraising rally for cancer research. It's sanctioned by the Cancer Council and we are going to be driving 3600kms (2250 miles) from Canberra to Townsville via some of the most rugged but beautiful outback scenery in Australia, including the Simpson desert and Birdsville track .... in a $1000 car. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to film it, so we are making a mockumentry about the preparations, the journey and the people we meet along the way. Proceeds from sales or prizes for the mockumentry will also go to the Cancer Council. We have a crowdfunding campaign at Pozible http://pozi.be/mocko?ra=315202 While $10 will get you credited in the film and access to an online copy, there are also other options. Thank you in advance if you are able to help. Michael.

Hi Brian -- I used Indiegogo [igg.me/at/aloveundefined] just a few months ago and was successfully funded. It's a lot of work, but honestly, worth it as audience members have the opp to be more involved in the overall feel of entire production; it also gives the creator a chance to show their stuff, creatively that is. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have other detailed questions, would be happy to help/answer where I can! Cheers :)
