Indie GO GO didn't work because it looks slightly obscure, the design unsophisticated plus for us the production - we were being charged monthly to have it up. Plus there is a fee that is taken out when you collect funds for the service of hosting you (all crowd-funds). So, if you don't make in the hundreds off your supporters it really isn't worth it.
Kickstarter was the next.
Kickstarter has a "brighter," platform which is more well known and reputable, but we started it and didn't have enough of a base of people might glance at the site. The strength of Kickstarter is based on an already existent circle of she simply didn't have enough people being engaged ongoing. (The others on her Facebook - Kickstarter encourages you tap this network - are fans who may have joined in a one-time reaction to a film they saw online.)
The team organized to reach out, met obstacles, figuring out how to move past them. They finally came out with a new strategy: to expand the scope of what was being done with the film. They decided to explore the issues with the public, with a donation being the result of people liking the experience. This a bigger result than simply seeking a donation, a way to give back? So it was decided the company would hold anti-bias forums, hosting real conversation around it, make bias toward transgender individuals a strong part of the focus, as it was reason for constructing the film.
However, Kickstarter didn't work either. Once the team figured out what needed to be done by doing what didn't - the month Kickstarter allows for your fundraising purposes had been eaten up. Raising $15,000 in two weeks just wasn't going to happen so fast.
Much Kudos for the filmmmakers who continue to work on this issue and film and to the supporters, hanging in til we figure out the fundraising challenge!
Continue on team!!!!

The Indie Battle continues
We've decided that we must get the word out about "Glo," before anything.
That in order to get an eye of interest, before the actual film - we have to go to folks who are
connected to the issues the film touches upon. People will see merit and might even be inspired to follow us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/Glothefilm, Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Glo/104700986306571?sk=wall or donate (new crowd-funding site coming keep checking).
It's been a fight through the elements, sort of speak - to find our strongest base, then the crowd-funding platform that works with our aims or Timeline.
