Why I Choose Seed & Spark.com to Crowdfund THIS IS MEG

With all the choices out there to crowdfund your film, it can get kinda crazy! Kickstarter and Indiegogo are the two Goliaths in the arena with Seed&Spark.com playing David. If you know the story the two Goliaths don’t fear David but this David has a hella of a punch.

I choose Seed and Spark to crowdfund my new feature film THIS IS MEG, because of a few reasons:

• They have a 75% Success Rate (2 times any other platform)
• The average raise is $17K (2.5 times any other platform)
• Their average fee is only 3% (40% Less than anyone else)
• They guarantee distribution if you hit a certain benchmark

How is this possible you ask, well it’s because they focus on one thing…FILMMAKERS. They don’t crowdfund for the next transforming coffeemaking pen. Seed and Spark are all about indie filmmakers and creating independence for film artists. Take a listen to this episode and find out how we are putting our crowdfunding campaign together for THIS IS MEG using this awesome platform.

Here’s the trailer to the film THIS IS MEG we crowdfunded:
