Financing / Crowdfunding : Why Crowdfunding Doesn't Work For Content by Andrew Heard

I like that there is someone out there is offering some suggestions. I have become disenchanted with crowdfunding from a potential funder's perspective. I have never attempted to crowdfund myself simply because I'm tired of great ideas and dreams with very little evidence to back up the fruition of them. A poorly produced demo with a director telling me what a great movie this will be if we have the money just doesn't get me to break open my piggy bank. I want to see other work by the actors, the director, the producer, the cinematographer. I want credentials. Why should I give project X my $5 over project Y when both are simply trying to convince me that they have what it takes to make something great in the future? I don't want to invest in a dream, I want to invest in people that make dreams a reality. Just my two cents . . . or $5 as it were.
