Dumbworld: A Sacramento Based Blog on Entertainment, Media and Art

I’ve heard of IndieGoGo and Kickstarter as crowdfunding sources, but here is a success story.  Gregory Bayne raised $27,210, from 410 contributors, in 20 days for his new documentary on UFC fighter, Jens Pulver | Driven.  Check out his blog New Breed, and his guiding principles on crowdfunding. via the workbook project

Tip #1:

The fastest-growing markets for digital video? Brazil, Russia, India, and China — the so-called BRIC bloc — where nearly a billion people will be using PCs by 2015. Indie-film expert Reed Martin suggests dubbing your flick in Portuguese, Russian, Hindi, and Mandarin.

Finally.

Have your full length film, documentary and/or live concert distributed to iTunes for no back-end distribution fee.

Looks like Tunecore has a lot of other useful services too.
