Kickstarter and Sundance to Help Films Get Funded
Kickstarter, the startup that helps projects find funding through crowd sourcing, has hooked up with the Sundance Institute to help fund independent film projects.
Many indie films have already gotten financial backing on Kickstarter, including at least five that were shown at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. The company also maintained a presence at the festival, with co-founder Yancey Strickler holding a series of filmmaker workshops.
Starting next month, Sundance will be picking plays, documentaries, feature films, shorts, and other projects from affiliated artists, and using Kickstarter to gather official backing from alumni and other film fans.
