Inside the Untold Journey of Creating a Hit Movie Far from Hollywood Lights with Adam Burke and Jud Nichols
As I record this podcast, we just completed our Kickstarter campaign this past Tuesday. I thought this might be a good time to do a recap and give my observations, which might be helpful to anyone who’s thinking about running their own Kickstarter campaign. We set out to raise $5,000 for post-production and marketing. We shot the film in November. We ended up exceeding our goal by about $800. So, we raised about $5,800, although do keep in mind Kickstarter takes 5% and then there’s credit card processing fees that take 3%. So, 8%, I think a little more than 8%, is going to get pulled out of that $5,800 before we actually receive it. So, I’ll quickly go through my strategy to raise the money here on Kickstarter. I knew going into this that most of the folks who were going to be backers of this project were people who have been listening to my podcast over the years and were on my email list for my selling your screenplay email list. So, I knew that the Kickstarter campaign needed to be writer-centric and I’ll get into some of those details here in a second about what I actually mean by that. And I knew I only have so many people on my list, so there’s a limit to how many times I can harass people with these emails and I apologize if you felt like I sent out too many emails.
