It’s harder today than ever before for independent filmmakers to make money with their films. From predatory film distributors ripping them off to huckster film aggregators who prey upon them, the odds are stacked against the indie filmmaker. The old distribution model for making money with your film is broken, and there needs to be a change.

In his early 20s, Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent, rose to the heights of fame and power in the cutthroat music business. A decade ago, the multi-platinum selling rap artist decided to pivot. His ability to adapt to change was demonstrated when he became the executive producer and star of Power, a high-octane, gripping crime drama centered around a drug kingpin's family. The series quickly became "appointment" television, leading to Jackson inking a four-year, $150 million contract with the Starz network - the most lucrative deal in premium cable history.

Publisher's Summary
Whether you’re a producer, screenwriter, filmmaker, or other creative, you probably have a project that needs constant exposure, or a product to promote. But how do you rise above the noise?
In Crowdsourcing for Filmmakers: Indie Film and the Power of the Crowd, Richard Botto explains how to put crowdsourcing to use for your creative project, using social media, networking, branding, crowdfunding, and an understanding of your audience to build effective crowdsourcing campaigns, sourcing everything from film equipment to shooting locations.
Botto covers all aspects of crowdsourcing: how to create the message of your brand, project, or initiative; how to mold, shape, and adjust it based on mass response; how to broadcast a message to a targeted group and engage those with similar likes, beliefs, or interests; and finally, how to cultivate those relationships to the point where the message is no longer put forth solely by you, but carried and broadcasted by those who have responded to it.
Using a wealth of case studies and practical know-how based on his years of experience in the industry and as founder of Stage 32 - the largest crowdsourced platform for film creatives - Richard Botto presents a comprehensive and hands-on guide to crowdsourcing creatively and expertly putting your audience to work on your behalf.

A good primer on crowdsourcing
I admit I didn’t know the difference between crowdsourcing and crowdfunding before I listened to this book.
Now I do and I have a blueprint to follow for all the work that must be done prior to launching a crowdfunding campaign.
It starts a little slowly, laying groundwork and introducing us to the author. But stick with the book and the journey is well worth the time investment.
I’ve completed the first listen and am revising key chapters to make notes and plans for my own future film funding campaign.

Great Information for Every Filmmaker
As founder of the highly successful film crowd sourcing site, Stage32.com, Richard Botto takes a detailed look at crowd sourcing and deftly distinguishes it from the more well-known crowd funding.
The book is insightful, detailed and witty and sprinkled with stories from his personal experiences which deliver messages that enhance the entire topic.. I love Richard's vocal style as he guides the filmmaker through the very important crowd sourcing that filmmakers of our era need to know.
Example of his style: "My eyebrows raised so high they scraped paint off the ceiling." Richard Botto
That's a great filmmaker, even with only sound as his palette.
Loved it!

A Vital Tool That I Bet Most Filmmakers Don’t Even Realise They Need!
I refer to this book and crowdsourcing generally in my review title as a tool...but it’s way more than that. It’s a value and a way of being what I think are the best filmmakers, which no other book I’ve read even gets close to touching on the idea of in comparison to Richard Botto’s: Crowdsourcing For Filmmakers. The best filmmakers care about and nurture their audience...their crowd and this is true of famous filmmakers and indie filmmakers but it is particularly important to indie’s. There is a ton of inspirational information in this book told by stories, case studies, hard stats...its concept is backed in every way possible which I love and makes it undeniably tangible as a value we as filmmakers should be living by. Lots of other books will teach you how to make a movie, but this book will teach you how to be a filmmaker. To be honest, movies are movies and most die with a few views on YouTube and that’s it. If your someone that just wants to make movies for fun, that’s totally cool, but if you have wider ambitions you need to read this book!

But now, everybody has a platform. The problem is that most of them are just making noise. In The Impact Equation, Brogan and Smith show that to make people truly care about what you have to say - you need more than just a good idea, trust among your audience, or a certain number of followers.

Customers, followers, subscribers. It's easy to just look at the numbers. How many likes? How many purchases? How many email subscribers? But as entrepreneurs, we have to remember that there are people behind all that data. People who are looking to us to be a leader, to give advice, and to care. In this dog-eat-dog world, these are the people who are looking for someone who they can trust and who they know have their best interests in mind.

But now, everybody has a platform. The problem is that most of them are just making noise. In The Impact Equation, Brogan and Smith show that to make people truly care about what you have to say - you need more than just a good idea, trust among your audience, or a certain number of followers.
