As indie film financing shifts to new studio models, amazon, app, apple, YouTube , netflicks, etc, now we have crowdfunding and a new curated model , slated .com.
Not the 1st and certainly not to be the last .
Will this new model provide more financing opportunities for quality films, while the studios sit on their hands and indie film makers chase money where ever they can.
Why invest in film when software and web plays offer a better upside.
Good question .
Of course where will quality indie films come from if they can’t be financed ?
Will there be more Fruitvale stations or Beasts of the southern wild, yes, but one a year?
Risky business as we all know, now more so, interesting as need fir product grows capital to finance it deminishes, nuts huh?
