And now it's above three million.
This will change how major studios "kick start" funding for their movies. This is something
that I have been saying for three years - that this type of funding will be great for the studios
and for groups and individuals with an already established fan base, but not so good for
most filmmakers.

It's now up to $4.5 million, and the producer wants a bit more, to give him extra options. That's impressive, and Kickstarter is still in its infancy.

They've crossed $5 million, with two days to go.

In related news, crowdfunding has raised more than $2.7 billion last year. This is either a fad/bubble or a longer-term trend.

What would interest me is the percentage of campaigns that do not reach
their goal. Im my very limited research for 2012 based on 104 I followed
1 out of every 15 got funded.
I think it's a long term trend. Any time people think they can get money
with very little effort that method will stick around for a long time.

Must be quite a high percentage - the road to riches is paved with the bodies of those who didn't make it.
