Crowdfunding the Movie Titania

I'm intrigued by this crowdfunding project which aims to raise money to film a fantasy movie, Titania.  Why is this so cool?  Well, Hollywood has a bad habit of making movies that are all sizzle and no steak.  If you don't like that kind of movie, then there's little on the big screen worth your time.  The independent film field is pretty small, because even a small film takes a lot of money to make.  But imagine what crowdfunding could do -- open the doors for more creative movies, whatever catches the fancy of enough fans to fund it.  I think that has great potential.

I debated contributing but the thing that really hooked me and got me to pitch some pennies that way was that the money won't be charged unless they reach their goal. As a consumer I'm always trying to be weary of the next scam. This could still be one, but if they aren't taking the money up front then it's less likely.

And thank you for the signal boost!

I think the delayed billing is a typical feature for the crowdfunding business sites.
