10 Things Filmmakers Need to Know About  

Crowdfunding  an  Independent  Film  with John T. Trigonis  

Crowdfunding is all about the Invitation…  

…to  let  the  right  ones  in.  

‘Nuff  said.  

It’s not all about “Show me the money!”  

…especially  with  your  Incen=ves.  

Crowdfunding needs “a little sex…”  

…and  neither  do  their  campaigns.  

Great movies don’t market themselves…  

…one  Tweet  from  @LeoDiCaprio  ain’t  enough.  

Celebrities are not “silver bullets…”  

…and  start  your  campaign  with  an  explosion.  

Be like Michael Bay…  

…so  outline  it  before  you  launch.  

Crowdfunding’s second act is hard…  

…or  ten!  

Everyone loves a good twist…  

…a  sa=sfying  one.  

Give your audience the ending they deserve…  

…and  it  deserves  your  full  aGen=on.  

Crowdfunding is a full-time job…
