Supporting Independent Films and Art Through Crowdfunding
- Crowdfunding has emerged as a powerful tool for independent films and art projects lacking corporate funding or big studio investments.
- Digital platforms like Kickstarter and Patreon allow artists to pitch their ideas directly to the public and receive financial support from passionate supporters.
