An independent movie producer with a modest but loyal fan base is short of funds for her next movie. Knowing that a bank loan is an unrealistic option, she is considering crowdfunding. But she is not very familiar with it or how to go about starting and conducting a crowdfunding campaign.

Prepare a report for the producer explaining the different approaches to crowdfunding, including the equity funding approach. Alert the producer to any drawbacks that might make people less willing to contribute to funding her movie and positives that might make people more likely to fund her movie. Conclude your report with a recommendation of which crowdfunding approach you believe would be most effective for this independent movie producer.
