Join Seed&Spark's Erica Anderson and BRIC's Brooklyn Free Speech Team for CrowdFunding To Build Independence on
Saturday, November 21, 1:30-3:30PM at BRIC Arts | Media House.
The only proven path to independence as an artist is a direct connection to your audience! Crowdfunding is becoming a fundamental piece of most financing plans for independent film. However, many filmmakers miss the opportunity to turn their film funding campaigns into audience-building opportunities that can last an entire career -- and provide the groundwork for distribution that the filmmaker controls. This class for film-related projects will provide the crowdfunding action plan most likely to create a lasting, flourishing, direct relationship with your audience.
THIS CROWDFUNDING WORKSHOP WILL COVER:
- Finding Your Audience
- Learning To Interact With Your Audience
- Elements of a Great Plan (Pitch video, Partners and Outreach, Organization)
- Executing a Great Plan (Day-to-Day Campaigning, New Outreach Materials, Pro-tips)
- After Campaign Audience Growth
- Carrying Your Film Into Festivals & Distribution
Seed&Spark is a truly independent film community where filmmakers and audiences join forces to fund, promote and watch the best new independent films. Seed&Spark's film-specific CrowdFunding tool -- the "WishList" -- allows supporters to buy or loan specific items to a production. Our fees are the lowest in the business, and our success rate is the highest (80%!). Every time an audience members supports the making of a film, they earn rewards points called "Sparks" which they can spend to watch films on the streaming platform. Supporting films gives audiences greater access to watch them. Filmmakers who stream their films on Seed&Spark keep 80% of the transactional revenue, and 100% of the rights. It's your film! Build your audience and earn your money.
