Is Crowdfunding the way forward for independent film funding?

We invite a select group of people to come out and talk about the importance of Crowdfunding, why we should become active in it, what it is and discuss best practices for a successful campaign.

Julie Dash will join us live on Skype to talk about her campaign, her project and answer questions about her methodology. Her campaign is still in progress, so there should be a lot to learn from here and she want to hear from you about what makes you enage with projects as an audience.

Julie’s Dash’s new documentary, Travel Notes of A Geechee Girl,  is our case study and we can also use this as an opportunity to participate by becoming a supporter of Travel Notes of A Geechee Girl. RSVP soon because we have limited places.

Lively discussion about film, crowdfunding and the need for alternative financing to create great works of art in a rapidly diminishing funding environment for the arts.
