Backing a film is a risk. When you invest in a film you want to know you will be involved in the process, that the film will make an impact on the world and that you stand a good chance of making a return on your investment.
The experience should be exciting, enriching and fun.
With the plethora of crowdfunding sites available, the choice of which film to invest in has never been greater. However, the risk of backing the wrong people has also increased.
It’s far too easy to invest in time-wasters, misguided newcomers or egotistical directors. They often end up treating you poorly with bad communication, a failure to fulfill their commitments and a lack of appreciation for your involvement. It’s a sad fact that many Kickstarter films never even finish principle photography, wasting everyone’s time, money and energy.
This is wrong and this is not how we work
