Film students from universities are increasingly looking to crowdfunding to find backing for their projects. With over countless films successfully funded through crowdfunding portals such as Kickstarter and IndieGoGo, Hollywood is now paying close attention to all this movement.

According to CrowdfundBeat.com, Director/Writer Rob Thomas has raised over $5.7 million for his movie “Veronica Mars” while Zach Braff’s feature “Wish I Was Here” has raised $2.6 million in donations. San Francisco State Student Sterling Cook is keen on exploring crowdfunding to finance production projects.

Crowdfunder directors behind the Oscar-winning doc Inocente.

Husband and wife directorial team Sean Fine and Andrea Nix Fine were in post-production on their 39-minute doc Inocente when they decided to turn to Kickstarter for help. Project: Inocente Funding goal: US$50,000 Amount raised: $52,527 Kickstarter backers: 294 Key takeaway: Know how much you need.

“I see in these directors, writers, and cinematographers, the same core passion for innovation. They are not only artists but more importantly, entrepreneurs – they are seeking to touch the world and make a difference through their films. We know of their struggle to find financial backing and I believe crowdfunding will be the answer,” says ICFFF’s Sydney Armani organizer and publisher of CrowdfundBeat.com.

To survive and flourish, today’s artists/entrepreneurs–and those who support them–must all embrace practices that extend beyond the core skills of development, production, and post-production of their art and reach beyond the attention and practice of marketing and distribution.” The meaning behind Hope’s words echoes the exact spirit and foundation that is the core of Silicon Valley’s passion for entrepreneurship and reflects the same spirit represented by the film festival.
