How to start raising funds for a feature

I have this low budget comedy boxing script, and I know there crowdfunds out there. Like indiegogo and kickstarter. My thing is I need to record a good video to put on there. Also can you start a campaign up without no funds first or do you have to have some already in place.

You can't start a campaign without crowdsourcing for 3-6 months ahead of time. You do not need funds in advance, but you do need a legion of people (usually family and friends first) who will be ready to contribute the second you turn on your campaign. This takes time and effort. Most people think there are shortcuts to crowdfunding. They're wrong. And that's why their campaigns fail. We've had a few webinars on this subject that will help greatly.

Great advice from the man who wrote the book on the subject! :)
