Filmmakers Increasingly Turning to Kickstarter
SAN DIEGO — The do-it-yourself spirit was alive and well at the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con International, and not just among the throngs of attendees dressed in homemade costumes. In the wake of the Kickstarter campaign that successfully greenlighted the Veronica Marsmovie, several filmmakers took to this year's event to tout supporting their own projects through the crowd-sourcing site.
The most prominent among them involves a television adaptation of the 1999 cult-hit comedyFree Enterprise, a love letter to "Star Trek" fandom and geek culture that celebrated its 15th anniversary with a panel at the convention. According to the film's co-writers, Mark A. Altman and Robert Meyer Burnett, the show would retain the humor and pop culture references of the film, but with a new cast and new adventures.
