I just finished clicking the “Back this Project” button for a film called “Man Child” by Ryan Koo of NoFilmSchool.com. I am not saying this to boast, or show off but rather bring something to our attention.

How often do we give to other’s films? For many of you the answer might be often. But for people like me its never, or rarely. Today was the first day I helped back something on kickstarter. I’ve never given before because I thought it had to be something “worthy” of backing, and while I know Koo’s film will be outstanding it got me thinking of all the other stuff out there. Why not back a crappy movie by a noob. Sure it might flop, or suck, but I would be investing in sooo much more than a bad flick. I am helping someone make mistakes, I am giving someone a chance to adapt and learn from those mistakes, I am helping to give someone a chance to exercise and strengthen their creative muscles. Heck, their film might be a hit! I guess the point is to look beyond the pitch video and help someone make and learn more about film. And you never know, you might be supporting the next Spielberg.

I saw this from Dave Dugdale‘s Google+ feed the other day. Gorgeously shot stuff. No it was not shot on a DSLR, and I love the concept of capturing a story in 8 hours. Good stuff.
