Kickstarter-funded TF/TG movies

Again....if you're starting from scratch, why the pressure to make a full length movie up front? Lots of film-makers start with shorts - get the concepts working, techniques, etc. Many feature length films started out as shorts and got re-adapted once things worked out better.

I still think the Patreon concept is a way to build interest - particularly since you can post behind the scenes clips, film journals, etc - while building funding month to month as you develop the entire thing. Particularly since - not having done a full film before, it may be difficult to plan a good film-making budget.

As a side note, there was a production company started by the guys who did "Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning" - and followed it up with "Iron Sky" that was built around a crowd-funding investment concept and I think you can submit requests for investment/funding. Don't remember the name. There were some posts on twichfilm.net about it way back when but I lost track.
