Funding Titania

This post has a "day on the set" video and a description of some perks for donating to the crowdfunded movie Titania.  Among the high-end perks is getting listed as a producer!

It makes me think of all the people who dream of being "in the movies," not necessarily as an actor but in one of the behind-the-scenes roles.  Some projects will let you write your own credit description at a certain point of patronage.  Some have options for people to get involved in actually making the project happen, different tasks that can be done, etc.  Being a producer, well, part of that job is often the funding, and part can be promotion -- those are things that crowdfunding donors can do.  In this case, while the money isn't small, it's feasible for someone on an average budget; about on par with an appliance or a vacation, so if "being a movie producer" is your dream, it got a lot more reachable. 

Want more involvement?  If you're throwing people money, they tend to do you favors; and if you establish multiple credits as a movie patron/producer, then that can create name recognition.  Many indie films have fundraiser and/or promotional events too.  A determined person could use this route to meet people who are in the field they want to enter, and get a foot in the door.
