Where can one find a Crowdfunding Campaign Manager that is so good at what they do that they'd be almost guaranteed to acquire the production company the capital necessary to produce the picture or short film proof of concept in just a month or less? Even if the production budget was over one hundred thousand dollars. I would prefer someone in town, here in Jersey, or Pennsylvania, but open to contract negotiation with someone from other locations. DreamFactory Studios is no longer offering transportation of Cast and Crew. No deadline.

If you find that person let me know.

Sure, Jon. And vice versa, alright?

That's called "mutual respect" in terms of helping one another out or collaboration teamwork.

I’ve certainly heard about marketing people who sell their services as crowdfunding gurus.
The more honest way to go is to build an audience gradually, find your niche and communicate with them. Then offer a product that they want, with rewards that they want to pay for. It’s transactional.
The best source of info on crowdfunding I know is the Comic Lab podcast. It’s about making comics, but their Kickstarter episodes are gold for other endeavors as well.

Hey Mike, yes those are the people I'm referring to.
Well? In business is there really an honest way that you've seen or heard of? Besides, I've been trying that route diligently to the point of exhaustion ever since 2008, "it don't work no how" as they say on one of my all-time favorite Warner Bros. pictures SERGEANT YORK (1941). Takes too much time. Would you wait for almost 20 years? Oh of course I've had many other intellectual properties in Development and in production since then, but for awhile they all have been small potatoes and I'm ready for the meat and potatoes, know what I mean?
I've hobnobbed at film parties or soirees with a few Crowdfunding Campaign Managers or their title in the business or industry as Executives In Charge of Marketing, but they demanded far too much for my budget. I was offering $5-$10 thousand dollars if they reached my goal of capital, but they wanted more.

Perhaps honest wasn't the right word. I just think it takes hard work to do it right, and there aren't a lot of shortcuts.
That said, a marketing person who knows their stuff would be worth paying for. Just hard to find the right person who cares about the project and isn't just looking for a quick paycheck.

Not most of the time, no. You are right, Mike, it does, and no there aren't.
Once again Mike, you hit the nail on the head.
