At From the Heart Productions, we’re partners with Indiegogo and have helped filmmakers raise over $2 million for their films.
But, that money did not always come easy. We provide lots of resources to create a successful campaign and fiscal sponsorship but it took work and dedication from filmmakers.
And that only happened when we got them to let go of the myths they have about crowdfunding.
Myth 1 – You build it and they will come.
Nonsense. No matter how fantastic a campaign page you create, how important the cause, or how great the concept, you need to bring your crowd to the crowdfunding campaign.

You’ve probably been manifesting your whole life and never realized it
Did you get the bicycle you always wanted? Did you get a computer you craved? A new car? You decided what you wanted, made a plan, and made it happen. You just didn’t call it manifesting.
Creating a pitch package for your film, a website, a business plan, is part of the process of manifesting money for your film. In her latest video, Carole shows you how to get it done.
