People Powered Film Financing

Are you all familiar with the work of Robert Greenwald? He's the indie filmmaker who raised $267,000 from 4 emails in 9 days for his movie "Iraq For Sale".

There was a great article in the Washington Post about how he did it and I was so inspired by it that I thought I'd share it with all of you.

Many of you are out there trying to raise money for your films through various types of investors, but I urge you to also think about this new style of people-powered financing.Especially if you have a niche product, or your film can be tied in with any type of affinity group (Christians,skateboarders, you name it!).

So have a look at this fascinating article and let me know if you think this isn't the wave of the future for film financing...
