I think I had heard the term"crowdfunding" many times before I really understood what it was. I mean, you can obviously logically inuit the basics of what it is, but I had no familiarity with it. Then a friend of mine started running a GoFundMe campaign to pay for some people to go to a Fringe festival.
I finally came into close contact when my friend and long-time film collaborator told me about a film idea him and another guy were kicking around. I got totally sucked into the concept, so he brought me on as a producer. I started doing some research into how we could raise funds, and my mind went to "...hmmm, Kickstarter is a way some people fund things, right?" So I looked into it, did some research into other potential crowdfunding sites, and then finally settled on Kickstarter. After several months of preparation, I'm now much much much more familiar with it haha. We just finally launched two days ago!
