Why Do Filmmakers Pick Indiegogo Over Kickstarter? Roger Ebert Doc Latest to Head to the Crowdfunding Site
The latest high-profile project to take the crowdfunding route is the Roger Ebert documentary "Life Itself," to be directed by Steve James ("Hoop Dreams," "The Interrupters"). But unlike Spike Lee, Zach Braff or the "Veronica Mars" project, "Life Itself," based on Ebert's memoir of the same title, is heading to Indiegogo.
As of writing this, the "Life Itself" campaignhas raised a bit over $7,000 in its second day of funding. Creativity has clearly gone into its conception, with a cool goal of hitting 7,202 backers -- the same number of reviews Ebert wrote throughout his lifetime. As part of the thank you process once the campaign is over, each backer will be notified of which review number their backer number corresponds to. And will get an early shot at streaming the movie --before everyone else.
