Hey guys! My name is Spencer from After Party Films, and we just launched our first Kickstarter campaign! We are attempting to raise money for a short film. When we were preparing to launch, we did a lot of research into other film Kickstarters to see what worked, and what didn't.
After viewing pages worth of kickstarters, there was one thing that kept bothering us about each project: They told EVERYTHING about the story in their video and description. This works really well with a product campaign, but with film there still has to be some of that magic of watching it for the first time. If not, you are just making a product, something to be digested and forgotten about.
With our campaign we tried really hard to poke fun at other Kickstarters, giving the tone of our film with a teaser, but most importantly not spoiling the movie!! We are trying to still respect the audience of the film by not giving it away, but we also need to get it made in the first place. If you guys are tired of seeing the entire story laid out before you ever see it, then please consider helping fund our campaign

Thank you,
