ALL MY BROTHERS (Indiegogo) Crowdfunding Campaign (Feature Film)

I wanted to personally send you our campaign we have been doing for the upcoming Feature Film, ALL MY BROTHERS, This piece is a dark dramatic narrative that tells the story of four college students that pledge a fraternity and the journey that brings them together, makes them grow, and overcome all odds. At this moment we have raised 1,125 dollars, and move closer to our goal each day! For each person that donates, they receive a Special Thanks credit on IMDB! More perks are on the campaign as well! Check out our indiegogo page! We would love your support and help to make this project a reality. I'm running a campaign on Indiegogo. Please help us meet our goal before it ends on March 4. http://igg.me/at/-S7BwJrXQFw. You can find more videos on www.breezewayproductions.com

Hey Alex, congrats on the launch! I'm Indiegogo's head film campaign strategist, and I wanted to chime in here with two bits of quick advice. First, you should really consider uploading some imagery. I know I'm gonna sound like a Hollywood producer here, but there's way too much black ink on that page. Second, and this one's much more pressing –– you need (1) stronger, more experiential and personalized perks, and you should (2) adjust the pricing structure a bit. $25 is the most popular perk level for indie film campaigns, and you have a $20 perk, which is good, but doesn't even include a digital download of the finished film. You're also going to need a $50, a $150 or $200 perk level, and you'll definitely need to fill in some perks between the $400 and $3,500 levels. The big takeaway here is that crowdfunding, as it is right now, is small amounts of money from large amounts of people, and not the reverse (that's for Hollywood, naturally :-) For more insight, give my this blog post a read (goo.gl/z2Qs4W), and once you make it to the 30% funded mark (another piece: goo.gl/jAdKon) by getting your friends and family to contribute (one more: goo.gl/OxfMYb) , feel free to reach out to me directly at trig@indiegogo.com and I'll gladly offer up some additional advice to get you closer to your $50,000 goal. Best of luck, Alex!
