Ask HN: Why isn't this indiegogo working?
- larrys 14y agoI'm consulting with some people on why this campaign hasn't taken off. Would love the opinions of the community here as far as why they would or would not support it or what the potential issues are. Might be able to get some people with quality answers hooked up with the producer in Hollywood possibly.
- waterlesscloud 14y agoIt's asking for a lot (for crowdfunding) of money. So we need a much better idea of who the people are and why it's reasonable to assume they can spend the money well. There's a bit of that in hooking the producer to theatrical releases, but we need more. Director, etc. How do we know this is going to be money well spent? What's minimizing the risk? But the bigger problem is this, and this applies to all crowdfunding- Why do I, as a potential funder, want this movie to be made? What's special about it? There's almost no information on the film itself. All I see is some people wanting to jump on the crowdfunding boat to make what appears to be a movie that's not at all special. I have no motivation to want this movie to exist. I don't see passion for the story. I don't see anything unique about the project or its intended audience. I don't even really see why the producer even wants this movie made. If he doesn't seem enthusiastic about the film itself, why should I? Sell me the project, not the funding method.
