Thanks, didn't know Savini was hard up for money though.

The film budget is set at a $1,000,000 goal, anything helps, whatever you can pledge as a contribution is more than enough, there are also special offers to those who contribute.
thanks!

Good luck with the project. He really needs to hire an intern who can post a proper link, though.

What ever happened to getting investors the old fashioned way? Oh wait.... they always want a cut of the profits and a say in how their money is spent. :rolleyes:

There's nothing inherently wrong with crowd sourcing film projects. Producers have always had to be inventive in financing, and this is one new method. Times change. Large investors often want something else besides a cut- they want some kind of control. This is a way to avoid that. Larger and larger names are trying this out. I say, if they can pull it off, more power to it.

DEAD-AND-ROTTING 09-01-2013 01:39 PM

Tom is also finding his way around the MPAA! so no cut and edit for this one!

My reading skills are intact. If you're going to post in forums, though, you should at least know how to make a clickable link.

DEAD-AND-ROTTING 09-01-2013 04:56 PM

Everyone that contributes to the Death Island fund, will have his/her name featured on the end credits of the film! Along with lots of other great special offers!

It does not matter how much you contribute, anything is appreciated!

Wow,this sounds awesome.My only aside is the pricetag.I am not convinced that $1.000.000 is enough,but if anyone can make this project work then Savini is the man.

Thank's alot guy!, we have full belief in him on this one, $1,000,000 is kind of a setback yes, but we/you know know he make's his way around various setbacks.

Sounds like a good project. I've never heard of the funding site. I always hear about Kickstarter all the time. I don't know if that would be a better place or not. But the whole camo zombie thing sounds cool.

I always thought that too, especially with Kickstarter staring to get so big and some pretty hefty stars beginning to use it (Stallone, Zac Braf, etc.). Now though, I guess I've come to accept that you're a supporter, not an investor, and most of the time you get a copy of the product if you donate the right amount so it can be seen as more of a pre-order. I don't like these big projects with no real goal though, yeah they want $1,000,000 but your money is gone regardless of whether they reach the goal or not. I dig Savini's stuff and wish him the best on this one.

neverending 09-08-2013 11:41 PM

I don't know about other sites, but on Kickstarter you're only charged if they make their goal.

That's what I'm used to but I noticed this on the Savini project...

"Flexible Funding
This campaign will receive all funds raised even if it does not reach its goal.
Funding duration: August 31, 2013 - October 15, 2013 (11:59pm PT)."

neverending 09-09-2013 04:52 AM

Oh my.... I wouldn't contribute under those conditions.

Sculpt 09-09-2013 02:43 PM

Well, I'd be thinking, even if they don't meet this particular funding goal, it doesn't necessarily mean they aren't guaranteeing a refund if they don't go ahead with the film project. But I'm not saying they are guaranteeing a refund if they don't go ahead with the film. What I gathered from this thread is the director has access to funds to make the film, this is just one of means to getting the funds.
