How to Raise $292,179 for a Documentary on Kickstarter

Do you want to use crowdfunding to finance a documentary?

What about an indie film?

There is a tried and true strategy behind raising money on Kickstarter (even when it comes to documentaries).

On this episode of the show, I talked with Pieter Dom and Richard Green, the tag-team duo behind the wildly successful campaign “I Know Catherine, The Log Lady (with David Lynch).”

This project has raised over $200,000 on Kickstarter from nearly 2,000 backers. Wow!

You’ll hear directly from the team behind this project and how you can apply the same fundraising strategy to your own film.
