Artemis Eternal crowd funds

You’ve heard of crowd sourcing and even crowd surfing .. and now we’ve got crowd funding to help pay for the short film Artemis Eternal. They are selling it as a truely original idea but I’ve heard of this kind of thing before and if you look at the comments on this Tech Crunch article about the proposed film they list some of them by name. These guys may not be the first but they sure look like the best with a top notch website dedicated to their project. It looks like they’ve raised some $40,000 of a $100,000 budget so there is a way to go but kudos to anyone who can raise even $40,000! Looks like they spent a good chunk on that site! I look forward to the finished production.

    Very cool stuff. Yeah no doubt the site itself is stunning.

    Guess what? Site was built on what it cost to purchase the URL. (Plus much blood, sweat, tears.) Thanks for recognizing what’s unique about the project. ;-)

    A producer I’ve been working with lately did a very similar thing (though on a smaller scale) by actually selling off the words from the script for her first short.

    It’s actually done quite well on the festival circuit since.

    ….. but that’s a gorgeous and promising looking site, looks like it’ll be worth keeping an eye on it.

    JM, if the site was built on what it cost to purchase the URL then I guess that means someone designed the site for free? Or an in-kind donation? Congrats on getting that done and as I said in the post it’s a killer site!

    Yep; per the FAQ and site credits I often partner/collaborate with Greg Martin. The site was a huge amount of work for two people. We did it working remote over the winter holiday and I won’t pretend it was easy.
