Video clip looks and sounds incredible Amanda! The shutting down of the radio
site maybe a stroke of luck for you in giving more emotional weight to the film
and get a wider audience (at least locally) interested in the film. And could
very well help get your campaign more momentum in your community.
I've not done any crowdsourcing campaigns but I've contributed to a few and
have a few opinions. I'd suggest that you do several follow up videos, I've
seen a few successful campaigns to do this. And I think it helps get people
coming back and suggests that you really want to work for the donations. It
doesn't necessarily have to be an original video on the project but could be an
upload of one of your previous works or a montage of your previous work.
On a side note I do wonder about the popularity of sites like indiegogo or
kickstarter where the individual does a bunch of work that will give a nice
commission to the hosting website. I don't believe anyone wakes up and thinks
Hey I've got a spare $50 I'm going to browse kickstarter! People get drawn to
the campaign through your own connections, hard work and hustle. This opinion
was cemented a few years ago when a friend successfully raised several grand
through direct donations on his own website for his feature documentary.
Anyway the project looks terrific I'll be sending a few bux your way :)

Subject: [Frameworks] latest film project - shortwave radio towers
Hey there fellow film folks,
I've been laying low in the cyber discussions lately, but still making
film work out here... Just thought I'd post a link to some info and
clips from my latest film project... taking a new direction once
again... my first feature length project... shot on 35mm...
'Spectres of Shortwave' is about a short wave radio site that's
about to be dismantled.
There is a profile on Indiegogo with video clips from some of the
footage that I have already shot. Still more to go.
There's also a facebook page too. I welcome feedback and suggestions.
'http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/5868/emal/25000'
take care, and be well!
