Its a small chunk, but its something, if everyone did that and supported each other the future would be looking good!<br /><br />Check us out at http://indiegogo.com/hicksmovie and be a part of the revolution!<br /><br />Mike Babiarz<br />Indie Film ProducerUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06808782687831895118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-68473589488482483.post-19239513409331617702011-02-16T07:16:03.466-08:002011-02-16T07:16:03.466-08:00Paul,

My biggest complaint about Kickstarter right now is that you don't get immediate access to the email addresses of your backers so you can't easily send thanks to the people who aren't your friends and family.Kevin Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05941382997053456226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-68473589488482483.post-79310971561820649422011-02-10T22:02:09.842-08:002011-02-10T22:02:09.842-08:00I've been thinking about this a lot lately, an...I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and was happy to see someone put it into words so well. And the fact that you did some math to show how powerful we as a group can be really adds to the impact of the statements. Those numbers convinced me to actually give to a couple of campaigns, and let me tell you, it feels great to be part of the community by doing so. As you suggested, I'm also writing an article for my blog on www.watchcausality.com about how artists, and new media artists especially, need to support each other to help bring this emerging medium to life. Thanks for leading the charge to get more filmmakers thinking this way!Ralph Fontainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04446901237109951652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-68473589488482483.post-78207375963863457032011-02-09T10:57:51.850-08:002011-02-09T10:57:51.850-08:00Hi Paul, This is pretty accurate assessment. PMD A...Hi Paul, This is pretty accurate assessment. PMD Adam Daniel Mezei told me I was rare among indie filmmakers in that I specifically budget $250 per year to be spent supporting crowdfunded campaigns. When it runs out, I'm done. One sad point about this process is that once the filmmakers get done barraging your streams begging for money and actually get it, a good number just disappear, giving none of the rewards promised and taking forever or in some cases never finishing the work described. This hurts the credibility of the Crowdfunding methodology. So Filmmakers, if you want crowdfunding to have value, PLEASE make REALLY GOOD projects, fulfill your promises and remember to be professionally courteous & grateful. I am not crowdfunding anything now. I probably will try at some point and I would hope people would be as supportive of my plans as I have been of others, but you can't count on it. For so many reasons (not all of them sinister) this is a volatile and selfish business - Middlemen streaming from the woodwork like cockroaches that want to get their hands in the pie anytime large numbers appear, people so busy (and rightly so) but to the sad fault that they become myopic and self-involved, people without the means to deliver financially, creatively and/or technically.<br />I'm not some kind of freakin' Saint because I donate $250 bucks a year, but in fact, this year I helped 5 of the 8 projects I've supported reach their budget. If every indie filmmaker out there could do that, imagine the number of projects that could get completed! We might even be able to start talkin more realistically in those numbers discussed here.<br />T.Reed - ComposerT.Reed - Nightmare Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988121804636608789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-68473589488482483.post-89821460502480472552011-02-09T08:53:54.545-08:002011-02-09T08:53:54.545-08:00Hey Kevin,

Thanks for the shout-out & for backi...Hey Paul! Thanks for the shout-out & for backing our film, Locked in a Garage Band. I agree with your points here, but have to add that we never thought we'd get the results we've had so far. It's a crazy story - and while we're only 1/8th of the way to reaching our $20 000 kickstarter goal, I was invited to attend Sir Elton John's Oscars party as a result of the campaign. The angel investor who managed to get me a ticket did so because she saw my sister & me working our butts off with kickstarter, getting media attention, etc - and invited me to the party. <br /><br />So - yes, it's a strange contrast. From having a couple of eggs & condiments in my fridge, bouncing cheques & freaking out about how the hell we're going to shoot a movie in under 8 weeks and what will we do if we don't get the $20 000 from kickstarter - to finding a gown to hang with Elton. Surely, the support is out there? <br /><br />I think the thing with crowdfunding is that you really put your dreams out there, and people will either get it or they won't. We do need to back each other, but we also shouldn't go broke doing so.<br /><br />I met Kevin at AFF and went to see his Monopoly doc because he was such a great guy to talk with, and was obviously so passionate about his movie. I generally am not a big fan of docs and play scrabble instead of monopoly, but you know what? His doc rocked my socks. I'll back it for sure. Once I have more than 2 eggs in my fridge (Don't worry Tostie - it's coming!). <br /><br />I also backed Girl Clown Film, and I've never met Crystal - but give me a woman lead in a comedy with a whole lotta heart and I'm sold. It was her project that sold me, plus she seems pretty kick-ass.<br /><br />I also backed Lucas McNelly's epic kickstarter campaign, "Year Without Rent" which was such a fantastic success story. He's since backed us, which was super cool of him- but totally not expected. <br /><br />This filmmaking community is pretty awesome when we embrace it and share the love!<br /><br />Thanks again. You rock!

We just started our campaign on Kickstarter to help us bring our completed film, "Under the Boardwalk: The MONOPOLY Story," to more cities theatrically.<br /><br />"Official Rejection" was a great look at the behind-the-scenes of the festival world and was a good eye-opener to watch right before "Under the Boardwalk" started hitting the festival circuit last fall.<br /><br />I met Victoria Westcott at the Austin Film Fest last October. Glad to see you're backing her film too!<br /><br />I hope you'll consider backing my project on Kickstarter as well: http://kck.st/ebcqSm<br /><br />Kevin Tostado<br />Producer/Director of "Under the Boardwalk: The MONOPOLY Story"Kevin Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05941382997053456226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-68473589488482483.post-90338859983047688832011-02-08T09:34:05.341-08:002011-02-08T09:34:05.341-08:00Thanks for the props!!

But you're absolutely correct: there's so much that didn't get covered. I could have made a nine hour documentary and never repeated the same info.<br /><br />That said, if you have any questions about the process, feel free to shoot them to me at paul@officialrejectiondocumentary.com and I'll answer them as best I can.<br /><br />-Paul OsbornePaul Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13745582336601438094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-68473589488482483.post-46781354337239104922011-02-08T09:28:22.705-08:002011-02-08T09:28:22.705-08:00I agree with this post --- I had my film up and sp...I agree with this post --- I had my film up and spread the wealth donating a few bucks to a bunch of projects and it didn't get me any money but was cool to do. Be nice if we all did spread what we had like that to help each other out! INDIE FILMMAKING FOREVER!!!<br /><br />P.S. - Will there be an Official Rejection 2? Just think there's so much more to be covered about festivals --- how to pick them and genre & running time factors -- how many slots are really open for each.. Is it truly easier to get into a smaller, local fest vs a medium or a big boy (who are these people screening/judging/reviewing... many smaller fests are pure garbage), etc -- I know you touched on some of that... and even talking about F the festivals --- go right to putting your short and/or feature online to get it out there....
