For my next film, the EP and I are considering a small crowdfunding campaign to round out the edges. We already have cash in the bank and a solid line to much of the rest of the budget. However, we'd love to have just a teeny bit extra to offer some extra incentives. Maybe $15K or $20K.
My experience with crowdfunding is mixed. I've had some good results and some not-so-good results, finding that no one approach can be replicated with the same results.
I'd love to hear your stories about how you all use it (if at all) for your projects.
