We discussed the website KickStarter.com in class on Thursday and I was reminded of a current IC student that has her very own Kickstart page for her two documentary films on the Ancient Ecosystems of Vancouver Island. She has actually exceeded her goal of $2,000 and began filming this past summer.
I thought her page was very interesting in how it not only asked for donations from Kickstarter donors but asked page visitors to share the project on social media and get the word out.
I had first heard about Kickstarter in my senior year of high school from a close friend and I think the idea of community members coming together to fund important projects (that otherwise might not have the opportunity to be created) is fascinating and just another example of the power of the internet.
