The Kickstarter platform caught sight of this collaborative phenomenon a few years back by giving creators the resources and the necessary support to make their ideas a reality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How does it work?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Crowdfunding premise in Kickstarter is simple: we should all have the opportunity to get money for a project through the direct support of other people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The creator sets a goal and a time limit. If people like the project, they can contribute with money to make it a reality. If the project reaches its goal, the charges will be made to the contributors&#8217; credit cards on the due date. If the project does not reach its goal, no charge will be made. Funding on Kickstarter is &#8220;all or nothing&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Reach<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Six films financed through Kickstarter have been nominated for an Academy Award and in 2013, the documentary short film &#8220;Inocente&#8221; actually won the Oscar. Renowned directors have also put their projects on the platform, such as acclaimed writer\/director Spike Lee with \u2018The Newest Hottest Spike Lee Joint\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kickstarter has turned into an essential tool for many emerging and independent filmmakers who finance their projects through donations as long as the project they present is convincing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Enter, promote and support<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since 2014, the 49-Hour Collegiate Rally and IDentity and Belonging projects have used crowdfunding in order to materialize, allowing young participants to learn about financing short films. A collaboration between GIFF and Kickstarter consults and supports this next generation of filmmakers who are here today with impressive campaigns.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sponsoring a project is much more than just giving somebody money. It&#8217;s supporting their dream to create something that can be shared with the world.
