Director: Crowdfunding Marks a New Era for Artists

November 21, 2012 @ 2:58 am By The Moscow Times

Independent American film director Gary Huswit spoke to a packed audience at the Polytechnic Institute on Monday about “crowdfunding,” the Internet phenomenon that is revolutionizing the media industry.

Huswit used crowdfunding to finance his documentary films (“Helvetica,” “Objectified” and “Urbanized”) on design that were shown Monday and Tuesday in Moscow.

Crowdfunding is the collective effort of individuals who come together and pledge varying sums of money in order to be a part of a project that interests them. In return, funders receive memorabilia or copies of the project as well as a sense of contribution.
