Seed&Spark - a site that supports all things moving-picture related

 

Crowdfunding on Seed&Spark

FIRST THINGS FIRST: We are a site that supports all things moving-picture related. Films (shorts, features, docs, experimental), webseries, film festivals, and even (and almost especially) independent cinemas and screening venues who need to build audiences. And let's face it, we ALL need to build audiences. 

Below are the steps a project owner should take in order to submit his or her project and successfully crowdfund in the STUDIO.

Please remember, though, that we are a SELECTIVE CROWDFUNDING PLATFORM. That means before approving a project, we need to see that you've assembled the necessary components for a successful campaign: A strong team (WHO); the seed of a great film (WHAT); and a compelling purpose behind your proposed film (WHY).

Plus, you're going to need a whole lot of passion and dedication, because crowdfunding is nothing short of a full-time job!

CROWDFUNDING TO BUILD INDEPENDENCE

The only proven path to independence as an artist is a direct connection to your audience. Crowdfunding is becoming a fundamental piece of most financing plans for independent film. However, many filmmakers miss the opportunity to turn their film funding campaigns into audience-building opportunities that can last an entire career — and provide the groundwork for theatrical distribution that you control. Seed&Spark and Tugg are combining forces to invest in the future of independent film by offering a comprehensive Crowdfunding to Build Independence seminar. This class for film-related projects will provide the crowdfunding action plan most likely to create a lasting, flourishing, direct relationship with your audience.

ABOUT SEED&SPARK

Seed&Spark is a truly independent film community where filmmakers and audiences join forces to fund, promote and watch the best new independent films. Seed&Spark's film-specific crowdfunding tool — the "WishList" — allows supporters to buy or loan specific items to a production. Our fees are the lowest in the business, and our success rate is the highest (70%!). Every time an audience member supports the making of a film, they earn rewards points called "Sparks" which they can spend to watch films on the streaming platform. Supporting films gives audiences greater access to watch them. Filmmakers who stream their films on Seed&Spark keep 80% of the transactional revenue, and 100% of the rights. It's your film! Build your audience and earn your money.

ABOUT TUGG

Tugg is a web platform that enables you to bring your film to your fans' local theaters or community venues. Through Tugg, individuals are empowered to select a film, time, and nearby theater, and then spread the word to their imme­diate and online community. Once a necessary amount of people commit to attending, the event will be confirmed; and Tugg will reserve the theater, manage ticketing, and ensure delivery of the film, allowing the audience to sit back and enjoy the show. Tugg has partnered with over 85% of the screens in the country and has a growing library of hundreds of studio and independent films.
