Hello everyone, I'm here to ask for some advice.
It's been a few months since my partner and I decided to produce the first episode of our TV show. The problem is, we have no money at all.
Oh, and I should mention that we live in Italy.
Now, with a bit of luck and a lot of hard work, we've managed to reach a few people who seem interested in our project. But, you know, words are just words, and after many disappointments, I've realized I don't trust people anymore.
So, essentially, we need to raise between 20 and 35k euros to make the pilot. We've considered crowdfunding as an option, but it would be our first time, and we don’t have an established fanbase yet. I’m not sure if we could actually raise that amount.
My question for you is:
What can we do to run a successful crowdfunding campaign?
Or do you have any other ideas on how to raise this amount of money?
Thank you all so much! I can't wait to hear your suggestions.
Federico

Hi, Federico Franchi. I haven't launched a crowdfunding campaign before, but I suggest reading this blog about the different funding options: www.stage32.com/blog/influencers-vs-investors-the-future-of-film-funding...
