A few years ago, crowdfunding was a novel and unconventional method for raising extra funds to complete a film project. But today, some filmmakers have managed to raise their entire budgets from the donations of ordinary people, by building a passionate fanbase and engaging communities.

Topics covered will include Your Strategy for Prepping and Executing a Successful Campaign, the Power of Your Funding Amount, and the Two Pillars of a Successful Campaign.
