Thanks for the laugh! By the time I got to "a meaningful product", I'm...:rotflmao1:
Anyone here a fan of grass --- the stuff on your lawn? Cause mine needs to be mowed and it costs $25 a week. If you send me money to help get my grass mowed, I'll send you a small clipping of it as my gratitude. PM me for my paypal on where to send your money.
why wouldnt they just include the investors in the profits after clearing costs or just a promise of double...if they dont make 80k after paying everyone that some seriously shitty project...the other stuff is nice but give back the dough when it starts making something..
i understand purchasing the movie in advance thats fine for the ten dollar thing but someone gave 5,000 (i assume stu automatically hes very good to womens pool)
is this wrong?40k is a joke for people with real money i dont see why they couldnt just give a percentage back..

I think there is just a major misunderstanding of how kickstarter campaigns work, especially among the readers who have been inclined to post their opinions on "begging for money" and this is a bad "investment".
There are campaigns to fund everything from theater projects to software, to games, to museum renovations. I don't recall EVER seeing a campaign that offered any sort of "return on investment" as these are not investments in the traditional sense. Projects are funded by offering the products (or some variations thereof). Kickstarter is NOT the place to look for investment opportunities, but it can be a really cool place to find new gadgets or cool projects. If you think they are worthy of one of the backer levels, then you commit. If the project doesn't not reach it's funding goals, then you get that money back.
Watching the video it seems an interesting idea. $40K for all the travel they are talking about doesn't leave much for anything else if they are using any kind of crew. If its one person with a video camera it doesn't bode well for production quality unless that person is more skilled than what the trailer showed.
Other funny thing I noticed was a proposed delivery date of December this year. Thats pretty fast but maybe they have a lot of stuff in the can already. The biggest thing that sticks out to me and re-enforces how damn poor the pool industry is overall is that you have a project with the most dominant women in the game with maybe hundreds of hours of TV exposure between them and they can't get an industry sponsor to post up $40K to fund a doc.
I hope they make it. If they produce a finished project I'll buy it.

It is a very rare doc that ever makes any money. The chances of a doc about women's pool doubling or tripling its production budget are about as good as me winning the U.S. Open. Of Gymnastics.
Besides the cost to pay for accounting of chopping up any returns to thirty or forty people would probably cost more than any potential return. Add in the legal aspects of someone maybe deciding they are not happy and getting their lawyer on its not hard to see why crowd investing is not done.
If they can find enough people passionate about it to generate the budget it will get made. Very common in film making today. I can think of several ideas for docs I would pay up front to see. But they would have to be made by people with a demonstrable track record of finishing similar projects. I think that may be an area this campaign could shore up by putting in the trailer what the film makers have done in the past.
Damn it, I can't this picture out of my head ...
I have a legit shot on the balance beam but my floor routine is weak.
I should have done a GoFundMe to pay for my last Harley.
What was I thinking.
Oh well, I have always wanted a Balabushka. Who's in to buy me one.
Any extra goes to the local Humane Society.
