Raising Money For Your Movie, Bogie Style - Crowdfunding
Crowdfunding is raising money from a crowd, hopefully your crowd, that you cultivate online. They know you, and they know your work. There is nobody who wants your success like your crowd, and you want to entertain and inform them.
There's much superficial Crowdfunding information, but every so often a simple idea how to play the Crowdfunding game is published. I found just such an easy article, with the right mindset, and I want to share it with you.
I'm a big Humphrey Bogart fan, and there's just something about Bogie's no-nonsense character. Every filmmaker should pay attention to him, and what Bogie knew instinctively about playing to a big group of people.
Amazing! Such a career! Rick Baker has played King Kong, brought life to "An American Werewolf In London," and to Bigfoot in "Harry and the Hendersons." Great films! "Star Wars," "Planet Of The Apes," "Men In Black," oh his list goes on and on.
Most recently, Rick has applied his Special Makeup Effects Artistry to "Maleficent." Rick Baker got started making Halloween makeup for the other kids, and he did it so well he freaked out his neighborhood.
I've met Rick at the Oscars, (he has 7 of 'em), and I always ask him for an Autograph on my program. He signs it "Beast Wishes!" What a great guy.
Born in the crater of a live volcano, on the planet Mars.
I'm able to work without sleep for more than a week,
food for more than a month,
water for a week, and air for about four minutes.
If the paycheck bounces,
I'm outta there, but I do
freebies sometimes, if the script is good, and the project is interesting.
I've attended the Academy Awards 17 times, and the Grammy Awards twice.
I've worked on a bunch of big-budget Hollywood movies, and have very few screen credits.
(I usually work on doomed movies, past their time and budget, their credits are already allocated.) Not in ImDb, yes I know. I don't care, paycheck please.
I've worked on several movies that were nominated for an Oscar, and one winner.
Mostly in visual effects, but lots of other jobs. Focused on Producing and Directing. Worked on your favorite Hollywood movies. Making my movies now.
