Week 6: Folk to Folk

Today on Kickstarter I supported the film project, Folk to Folk:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/folktofolk/folk-to-folk?play=1&ref=users

It’s a short documentary by three young filmmakers about young folk musicians today. Somebody in the trailer says, “I think in times like these, people want something real.” The trailer for this documentary has that feel to it: authenticity.

WHY FIVE DOLLARS?
One of the most interesting things that happened during a recent Kickstarter fundraising campaign for my own film, SOURLANDS, is that someone pledged $1. I remember opening up my email and thinking “Why did someone just give me a dollar?”

I Googled around and soon discovered that the $1 came from a man who is giving $1 every single day of 2012 to a different Kickstarter project and, just as importantly, helping promote each of these projects on his website.

This has inspired me to do the same. Once a week for at least the next year, I’m going to pledge at least $5 to a documentary film project on Kickstarter that looks interesting. I’ll also help promote each of these projects on the Sourlands blog (http://www.sourlands.com/blog.html) and the Sourlands Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/Sourlands). I hope you'll steal this idea, just as I did!
