I often get asked about using crowdfunding, why I use it, why the campaigns "fail" and what I mean by Wicked Carnival Productions just needs an opportunity .
In this blog I will explain these things to you and hopefully make some sense along the way .....

Why we use crowdfunding .....
Wicked Carnival Productions uses crowdfunding because I'm not made of money but I have the passion to make movies for fans just like myself and without the money to do it I obviously need help to do it, I can't get loans from banks because I have nothing to begin with.
The whole point of crowdfunding is to build a community of people who believe in the things you are trying to do weather it's movies, web series, art, comics, music books etc. everyone on indiegogo or kickstarter needs help to make their projects happen .
I understand we are competing for peoples donations and that's just part of the game but what I don't understand is why do you have to try to cut other peoples projects down to attempt to gain more backers for your project ? What's the point ? to me it's just bad business practice and why would someone want to plunk their hard earned money down on a campaign that does such things, I may never know the answer do that ... I run a clean, honest campaign and yet have never had a "successfully" funded campaign .
The reason I put quotes around the word successfully is because I have raised money sure and made adjustments to my script to make the movie the best I could because unlike other film makers when they don't get funding, I refuse to quit, we made Sins of Man : Rise of Mortis on a budget of $700 dollars and most of that money came out of my own pocket, why because I knew Rise of Mortis was something good in the horror genre and I don't quit . Rise of Mortis came out well for what we had to work with on $700 dollars IMAGINE what we can do with Vengeance with a $7,000 dollar budget !!

Wicked Carnival Productions simply needs an opportunity.....
This might confuse some people as to why we need an opportunity because we successfully released our first film on DVD last year and that's true, the opportunity I'm talking about is how far we can go if we didn't have to run a crowdfunding campaign for each film.
If we could have a single fully funded campaign and not have to cut corners on productions I feel would would generate enough money from a SINGLE DVD release that we would be able to build Wicked Carnival Productions and not be required to run crowdfunding campaigns over and over and in turn we would be able to help other people with their campaigns with some of the money we raise and lift other films up so they can be released on time and on budget .
We are looking to our fans and horror fans to help us get that opportunity not only make Wicked Carnival Productions a stand alone company but to give us the opportunity to help other companies and artists create their work as well .
