Crowdfunding film and documentaries: successful projects
Success story
Power Station raised £253,197 across 4 projects and received over £80,000 in match funding. Artist-activists Hilary Powell and Dan Edelstyn decided to turn their street into an energy-generating powerhouse – a model for a new way of living, with the hope of galvanising a movement towards sustainable alternatives.
Food for Thought successfully raised over £75,000 from 250 supporters to create a feature documentary designed to inspire and promote the health and well-being of people, animals and the environment.
MOOSHI is the first ever drama short film to shine a light on the dark secret of illegal and deadly ‘pushback’ operations by border forces. The project owner wanted to take this film and it's crucial message to the world's largest stages.
The Doc Rowe Film and Archive Project set out to digitise and preserve a vast collection documenting British folk traditions. Spanning six decades, the archive will be housed at the Vaughan Williams Memorial Library, with support from partners including the BFI and English Folk Dance and Song Society.
