Financing / Crowdfunding : Looking for tips on crowdsource funding by Thomas F Henley

I'm looking to connect with people who have run successful Kickstarter campaigns. I am about to launch my first one, and I have done some preliminary legwork such as joining forums and actively participating. I would like to know any other tips you might have for me. Like most independent filmmakers, I am passionate about my project, and will do pretty much whatever it takes to make sure it comes to a head. Thanks a million.
