In this case the donators/ investors look as it they are getting something for the contributions...at any rate good luck to all those invloved
Hence the difference between donators and investors.
We are donating, and will (if it's fully funded) get a copy of the DVD when is is released.
We are not investing. It's a bit similar to donating to PBS television I suppose. When I do that, I don't expect to profit share. ;-) (Yes, I know PBS is a non-profit and it's not the same. But I look at it that way.)
I do think the community is rife for scenarios of folks announcing a project then asking for cash on a project.
Yes, and this is why "kickstarter" is used. It cuts down on some of that by making sure that the money is returned if they don't reach their funding goal. True. they "could" reach their goal, get the money and still not produce anything, but I doubt it. He already has shown clips and interviews.
My personal opinion, if he gets the money, it will be a fairly well done documentary.
If he doesn't, he will put together what he can and it just won't be at the same level....
He "started" announcing this before he put it on kickstarter, so I think it is going to happen either way, it's just a matter of how much he gets and what that enables him to do with the film.
Can the producer list screen credits or samples of his work? how about a resume? a track record of completed works would be nice.
I'm sure he can. You can ask him. (Probably better luck asking at his website rather than here) And if you would like to be a full "investor," I'm sure he'd love that too.. ;-)
