![DON’T FORGET REAL FANS FUND FILMS
Getting support for a film is much easier in our digital world. LaMothe suggests aspiring filmmakers reach out for fan support through sites like Kickstarter. “It’s a Website designed for filmmakers who are seeking funding for films,” he says. “[It] seems to be filling out very well for a lot of independent filmmakers. Basically it allows your average filmgoer, contributing their 25 cents or whatever amount of money they want, to contribute by putting a budget in the timeline. With those budgets you can hopefully seek some form of funding for your film.”](http://cdn2.blackenterprise.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2011/10/kickstarter-620x480-90x100.jpg "kickstarter-620x480")
