IFH 023: Crowdfunding Your Indie Film Like a Pro with Emily Best

Crowdfunding has always been a mystery to me. I never really understood how indie filmmakers can raise $50,000, $100,000 or $1,000,000 to make their films. I tried once with the "if I built they will come" idea but they never came.
When I discovered this weeks guest, Emily Best CEO and founder of the indie film crowdfunding website Seed & Spark, I had to get her on the show. I attempted to squeeze out of her every bit of crowdfunding knowledge I could. We discuss:

How to create a successful crowdfunding campaign?
What are the biggest mistake indie filmmakers make when crowdfunding their film?
How should indie filmmakers crowdsource (building an audience for you, your film or your company)?

How do indie filmmaker determine how much to ask for when crowdfunding?
How do you build a killer crowdfunding page and video?
What incentives should you give when crowdfunding?
How do you build momentum so your audience will follow your film's creation from beginning to end?
How do you determine if your film has an audience?

All of these question on crowdfunding are answered and more. Seriously this podcast is a condensed master class on crowdfunding. I was selflessly asking the questions I wanted the answers to and now you guys benefit as well. Enjoy!
