Hey tx for the add Stephanie. I felt as though the dancer could be you. Do you dance?
Latin dancing is fun!! I use to dance at Alvin Ailey back in the day, now I love a good club where I can go ans seriously sweat every so often.....move my bones :)
Ah Alvin Ailey, an old roommate of mine used to dance there. You must be amazing, their dancers are no joke. Glad to meet a fellow lover of dance. :)
Tx but that was the old days.. Cheers
Thanks again for the add Ray. Good luck with reaching your budget for Crossfire. I love the poster, it looks like Gerard Butler's holding the gun.
Thanks! Should be posting about it here soon!
Thanks for the invite Ma'am!
Bonjour Stephanie, Good to connect with you. I hope some of the info I posted is helpful. Bon-weekend, Tiffany Marie Delorme
Bonjour Tiffany, Actually your info was helpful, thank you. I'm just having time today to respond to everyone. Thanks again. Kickstarter is a major project not to be taken on lightly.
Very happy to be of some help. By all means, please feel free to stay in touch. Best, Darryl

Expand postHi Stephanie, Our company did a Kickstarter campaign to raise post-production funds for a project. As you probably know, if you don't reach the funding goal amount you set within the time frame you choose, you don't receive a dime of the funding because no one's card is charged unless the goal is reached. We only got about halfway to our goal and so, did not receive the donations that were pledged. However, in the daily blog that one does to keep the public in the loop and update them as to your project's status, we also mentioned that we were open to investors as well as donations and, because of that, we attracted three investors who actually invested more than we were asking for in our donation campaign. In that sense, Kickstarter worked by providing a platform to reach those investors. As you may also know, another crowd funding site, IndieGoGo, has two ways of raising donations: Fixed Funding, which operates just like Kickstarter (don't reach your goal, you don't get anything) but they also have Flexible Funding, which means that you still get however much you've raised even if you don't reach your goal (minus 9% I believe). There are upsides and downsides to this. Upside: You get SOME money. Downside: It may not be enough to accomplish what you want and also not enough to pay for the perks you promised people who donated, so be careful when making the choice. At any rate, if you use either Kickstarter or IndieGoGo, always make sure to add extra dollars on top of what you actually need to cover their cut and the costs of mailing the promised perks. The other thing about crowd funding is that, for the duration of your campaign (or at least until you've reached your goal, because donations could exceed your goal) you will spend most of your time on Facebook, Twitter and e-mail constantly updating your contacts and reminding everyone to please donate. It become nearly a 24/7 job so allow for that in your schedule. Wishing you all the best on your projects and your crowd funding campaigns. Sincerely, Darryl Anka Zia Films

Expand commentHey Darryl, Wow, what a great reply, look at you, just a wealth of knowledge. Some of what you mentioned I have found in my research, but regardless it's just good to hear the viewpoint of someone who has been there, done that. It's an enormous project to take on, especially if you want to do it right, and not have anyone's time wasted. I hope you don't mind if I keep in contact with you, once I get closer to start my own Kickstarter campaign. Thanks again for all of the great advice. Best, Stephanie
Hi Stephanie - always great to connect to writers. Thank you for adding me to your network - all the best!
Hi Stephanie, great to connect with you. If you are ever looking for quality music for future projects, keep me in mind. Have a good week... Mark
Thanks to you too, Stephanie. Enjoy your weekend!
Who here has created their own Kickstarter campaign? Was it successful? What did you learn from it? What came from that campaign (i.e. production, networking, contacts, experience, etc.) that was most valuable to you? What advice do you have for others looking to start their first Kickstarter project?
