I'm an independent filmmaker struggling to make a
feature
film in Hollywood. Unfortunately, I don't have
a rich uncle,
or any influential friends who can help
open doors to finding
money for my film. I'd like to be
able to make my movie,
my way, and in this city of
sharks, that's a hard thing to do.
Then I got an idea - perhaps I could rely on the generosity
of
strangers. Maybe, just maybe, people would be
willing to give
me money - a dollar here, five there -
with no expectation of
anything in return, save for
that warm feeling of knowing that
they are contributing
to the act of creation by enabling me to
create my art.
So here we are at www.FundMyMovie.com.
I figure I can make my movie for $20,000, I can make it
well
for $200,000, and I can make it spectacular for
$2,000,000.
That means, that if only 4,000 people each
donate $5, I've
got a movie! Seems worth a try. Now
just to be clear - and to
keep this legal - I am NOT
seeking investors. Your donation
is a gift. You get
nothing in return from me - no product, no
merchandise,
no tax break, no percentage of anything.
The only promise I make is the following:
The money donated to me through this website will ONLY be
used
for the purpose of making my movie, and NOTHING
ELSE.

Money collected as of 1/1/08: $22.00
I'll keep a blog of my progress once this thing gets rolling.
