Inside the Untold Journey of Creating a Hit Movie Far from Hollywood Lights with Adam Burke and Jud Nichols
So, again, I’m just always trying to think about what can I actually offer that does provide some value. So, the main thing, this is the main thing that got the Kickstarter going. As I said, after the first week, we were only at like $1,500. You can go look up at the ratio of what people chose as a reward, but this reward was far and away the most popular one. I think it was almost half of all the people that pledged chose this as a reward. So, again, just thinking some of these things through beforehand, I think, is probably smart and offering rewards that you know your audience might really respond to is probably worth taking some time and really thinking that through. So, then later in the second week, I created a poll for our tagline. Basically, and I mean, this isn’t anything super complicated. I just, using Google Docs, I created basically a survey or a poll, and we had a bunch, I think we had eight or nine taglines that we had come up with, and then you could just go and you could vote on them. This didn’t require a pledge to participate. I did link to the Kickstarter from that page, so if you’re filling out this poll, you’ll see, hey, we’re still doing this Kickstarter. So again, it was just sort of a soft sell, but again, I thought this was something that writers might be interested in. Obviously, if you’re a writer, hopefully anyways, you’re good with words and have read a bunch of scripts and sort of understand the writing, so it’s good to get some feedback on any project. So, I thought that was a good way to get some feedback. I thought this would be interesting to hear from writers. And I also put a space so you could actually suggest your own tagline if you had one, and I gave a logline and a synopsis for the film, so if you had your own tagline, you could actually insert that. And if we do end up using one of the taglines that was suggested, we would give that person a credit as well, and IMDB credit as well. So again, I was just trying to give something that I thought my writer audience might be interested in, and we did have dozens and dozens of people actually went and filled out the survey.
