		<description><![CDATA[With all the discussion about the future of Kickstarter in recent weeks, it may be appropriate that a film that began its campaign at the beginning of the crowdfunding movement is finally coming out this Saturday. The Cosmonaut &#8212; a Spanish-made English-language film directed by Nicolás Alcalá and produced by Carola Rodriguez and Bruno Teixidor &#8212; raised over €300,000 from 5,000 contributors. It was the first crowdfunded film in Spain and helped pave the way for the foundation of Lánzanos, Spain&#8217;s Kickstarter equivalent. The Cosmonaut will be available to watch for free on Saturday on the film&#8217;s website; the DVD, theatrical &#8230;]]></description>

It will be about Buckeye Nation, which is the cultish fandom of The Ohio State University. I’ve never been more certain of a project&#8217;s potential success than this one. However, my past attempts at trying to get it funded tell a much different story. For almost a decade I failed to obtain funding for this golden project. Then a miracle happened, which I will get to in a moment. Buckeye Nation is the &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sumptuous and evocative, Jared Moshe&#8217;s Dead Man&#8217;s Burden is the rarest of species in specialty film, a Western. More importantly, it is a fine addition to the genre, a complex meditation on the wages of sin and the burdens of family, a chamber drama with more than a hint of noir. Set during the years after the Civil War in and around a rural New Mexican ranch, the film initially focuses on a young couple, Martha (Clare Bowen) and Heck (David Call). They plan to sell the ranch after the death of her father, a struggling farmer, and use the money &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What hath Veronica Mars wrought? When Kickstarter began, it was a place for projects that couldn&#8217;t find their money elsewhere. Projects that didn&#8217;t fit into easy categories. Projects from people without access to typical funding sources. Over the years, it&#8217;s morphed into many other things, including a pre-sale marketplace for new tech gizmos. The latest is a Money Guy Free Zone for Hollywood names. First, Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas turned to Kickstarter to fund what the owner of its IP, Warner Bros, would not. (Aiming for $2 million he raised $5 million). Now, Garden State director Zach Braff is &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Looking stupid is more feared than losing money.&#8221; That&#8217;s one of several truths contained in a blog post by Chris Jones titled, &#8220;Who Will Finance Your Film and Why.&#8221; When it comes to independent film, where the often lack of upfront distribution makes financial modeling difficult, equity fundraising is more art than science. Many articles that purport to tell you how to raise money ultimately don&#8217;t. But Jones&#8217; post is a good one; indeed, I pretty much agree with everything he writes. Like about looking stupid. It sounds crazy but it’s true. Looking stupid is feared more than loosing money. &#8230;]]></description>

Embarking on an ambitious Kickstarter campaign, Koo leveraged not only the community he had been building via his excellent website, No Film School, but also his project&#8217;s selection for the IFP and Film Society of Lincoln Center&#8217;s Emerging Visions program. The campaign was a success, raising $125,100, and, as he&#8217;s moved his story of youth basketball forward, Koo has been, essentially, open-sourcing his progress, giving advice on not only social-media fundraising but screenplay &#8230;]]></description>

For success stories, you don&#8217;t have to look far: Destin Daniel Cretton&#8217;s Short Term 12, which was a recent KRF grant winner, just won SXSW, and the Oscar-nominated Beasts of the Southern Wild received multiple grants from Filmmaker360. (Cretton was recently profiled by the SFFS, which you can view here.) The latest group of KRF finalists have now been announced, and it includes Jonas Carpignano for his feature version of A Chjana, the stunning short that last year &#8230;]]></description>

The film follows the intersecting lives of three individuals in three overlapping relationships. The way it&#8217;s told is unique, not only because we rewind and see different moments from different perspectives, but also because we started without a script. My first feature August the First was made the traditional way. I sat down with my writing partner, wrote a script for two years and afterwards we filmed it. The results were good. The film premiered at the SXSW Film Festival and was well traveled on the &#8230;]]></description>

This piece is a useful follow-up that explains how we were actually able to beat the odds and raise half of our goal in the final week. This was written with the hopes that other indie filmmakers can apply what we have learned to reach their own fundraising goals.

		<description><![CDATA[Hacks, four-hour workweek condensations, and digital outsourcing — I&#8217;m often dubious about the efficacy of many strategies promising &#8220;the answer&#8221; when it comes to both creative and business endeavors. That said, &#8220;Hacking Kickstarter: How to Raise $100,000 in 10 Days (Includes Successful Templates, E-mails, etc.),&#8221; found on the blog of Four-Hour Work Week guru Tim Ferris, is an excellent walk-through of one very successful Kickstarter campaign, and it&#8217;s full of practical advice. The Kickstarter was for Soma, a designer water filter, but much of author Mike Del Ponte&#8217;s advice can be applied to filmmakers too. I don&#8217;t agree with 100% &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been a huge fan of Frankie Latina&#8217;s since I saw his awesome debut feature, the new wave-tinged exploitation flick Modus Operandi, at CineVegas in 2009. Scott shared my love of the movie and that same summer put Latina on Filmmaker&#8216;s &#8220;25 New Faces&#8221; list. Modus Operandi came out in 2010, and since then Latina has been somewhat quiet. Until now, that is. Yesterday he launched a Kickstarter campaign for his new film, Snap Shot, with an excellent, attention-grabbing video starring Danny Trejo, who&#8217;s one of the leads in Operandi and will also appear in this upcoming project. Latina&#8217;s $75,000 target &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is it possible to produce a cinematic narrative based on the collective wisdom of a tribe with no real actors? Can a film be made where true stories are brought to life by the people who have actually lived them? Joey L. not only believes it is possible, he has every intention of making it happen. By the age of 18, he was commissioned to photograph the movie poster for Twilight. Currently his work, on National Geographic’s Killing Lincoln promos, can be seen on billboards from Times Square to Sunset Boulevard. So how does someone who makes a living routinely &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week, my production partner and I reached our Indiegogo film crowdfunding goal. We worked a ton, both on and offline, spun our wheels a bit, thought we set our goal too high, figured we might be harassing our friends too much, worried we picked the wrong time to fundraise, and grew concerned that our campaign was too long. But, in the end, we were able to course-correct and come out on top, beating the $15,000 goal by some $700, with the last $7,000 coming in the final four days of the campaign. Like anything that really tests your faith &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wanna give the finger to Big Pharma and maybe meet the Dalai Lama? Danish director Phie Ambo’s Free the Mind was one of my big discoveries at IDFA 2012. The film’s a truly revelatory exploration of the mindfulness movement, led here in the States by the University of Wisconsin’s Richard Davidson (who made Time magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world back in 2006), an expert in “contemplative neuroscience” who moved into the field after being asked by none other than the Dalai Lama why modern neuroscience didn’t study kindness and compassion.

		<description><![CDATA[A genuine meditation on male friendship, the absurdities of indie moviedom and many different kinds of loyalty, Daniel Schechter’s Supporting Characters, a surprise hit at last year&#8217;s Tribeca Film Festival, sneaks up on you, its seeming limitations becoming its strengths over the course of its easy-going 87 minutes. Despite being shot in a fashion that recalls a comedy you might find on FX, Supporting Characters maintains an old-fashioned, craftsman-like quality about it; it’s written with feeling and humor that rings with truth, offering us characters whose lives are as complicated and full of ambiguity as our own. Alex Karpovsky and newcomer Tarik Lowe have &#8230;]]></description>
