Investing in a film comes with risks. When you invest, you want to be actively involved, see the film make an impact, and have a good chance of a return on your investment. This experience should be enriching, exciting, and enjoyable. With numerous crowdfunding sites available, there’s a wider choice of films to invest in.
However, the risk of backing the wrong projects has also increased. It’s easy to support projects that don’t deliver results, led by inexperienced newcomers or self-centered directors. They often fail in communication, commitments, and appreciation. Many Kickstarter-funded films don’t even finish filming, wasting time and money.
