Let's improve the process of crowdfunding

We are working on the process of crowdfunding for niche market films. The criteria are two or more of the followings :

• author movie
• high quality of the artistic projet
• low budget
• cultural referents
• unusual languages
• independant films (not supported by "official bodies" in charge of promoting movies)
• small audience (less than 500 000)
• etc.

Our first goal is to discribe a process to identify the concerned communities and the various ways to reach same creating an allaiance with their community manager.

I think crowd funding is a great way to access these niche markets and makes possible an artisic project that would be much tougher to complete or could not exist otherwise (due to the size of the market).

I’ve been fortunate to run my own successful campaigns, but also have helped out on over a dozen innovative artistic endeavors all of which have been successful in some way. What you’ll read here, and hopefully in the future, is what I’ve found to work (to the tune of almost $350k and counting).
