Hey everyone,

I've been making small ski films for several seasons that have turned out excellent and this year I want to take it to the next level. I would like to travel around the country to various mountains filming an online web series that I would eventually turn into a DVD to sell in full. The only problem is coming up with the money to do so :(

I'm new to this forum, but I was just curious to know if anyone here has any tips for raising money for something like this. I know that crowd funding is an option but it is difficult to use without a large social media following. If you have any other tips or suggestions, I would love to hear from you.

Thanks!

Whore yourself out in the gondola or talk to people and convince them that your project is worth investing.

Or even better, start small and built a following, by better equipment along the way, and have a better chance of getting a dvd out.

I think that would be the best way to go as you need to have some sort of following if you want your dvd distribution to go anywhere.

There is actually a pretty solid precedent for how to go about this!

First, shoot the whole movie. No funds? No problem, just take out some loans and rack up your credit card.

Next create a kickstarter and ask people for funding. Give your movie a foreign name to make people think its legit, deep, and artsy.

All you have to do now is wait for the money for the money to pour in!
