Crowdfunding to Completion: Kickstarting a Career in Feature Films
By Darva Campbell and Gib Papazian. Darva, a writer, concert pianist, and stage director, spent 30 years teaching music and directing and choreographing theatrical shows. Gib, a graduate of the University of Southern California Cinema School, worked for several years in the industry in LA before vectoring off into a family business, eventually becoming a prolific author, critic, golf historian and architectural design consultant. After jointly forming a production company, the two launched a kickstarter with a goal of 50,000 dollars as well as seeking private equity investment for the film. This strategy, using a trailer as a marketing tool, proved to be successful. The two finished shooting Writer's Cramp on Nov. 30 and are now in post production. Gib was cinematographer; Darva is the creative director, writer, editor, heart, soul and driving force behind the project. Shot on Canon 5D Mark III with Zeiss lenses and studio-grade sound recording equipment. We credit the groundbreaking work of Shane Hurlbut ASC as the inspiration for the decision to shoot Writer's Cramp in this unique format.
