IndieGoGo provides tools for fundraising, promotion, and discovery to the film and media industry. The platform enables people to showcase their work, mobilize their fans, and DIWO (Do-It-With-Others!).
Founded on the principles of opportunity, transparency, choice, and action, IndieGoGo launched in 2008 to address the fundraising challenges and market inefficiencies affecting independent filmmaking today. IndieGoGo enables this "filmocracy" by providing filmmakers an open platform to pitch their projects to the world, and giving the fans a vehicle to experience and influence the once inaccessible world of filmmaking.
Filmmakers get resources to build and engage a loyal fan base to assist in making their projects happen. They can raise money and awareness, and gain credibility through their number one resource: their fans.
Fans get the opportunity to discover, share and directly impact the films or their choosing while also getting insider access and VIP perks.
