Last night at the Web 2 NY meeting, IndieGoGo co-founder Slava Rubin presented their independent movie making marketplace. We covered IndieGoGo back in January and called it a, "online social marketplace to connect the needed people and tools to make films." You can search ideas that are already in the system and get involved or upload your own movie ideas. Artists post, promote and produce their movies through IndieGoGo and fans discover, support, and get perks from the artists. There are a variety of community features and widgets to bring artists and fans closer together to create movies that the fans want.

Here’s Slava’s demo:

IndieGoGo is an online social marketplace connecting filmmakers and fans to make independent film happen. The platform provides filmmakers the tools for project funding, recruiting, and promotion, while enabling the audience to discover and connect directly with filmmakers and the causes they support.

Founded on the principles of opportunity, transparency, choice, and action, IndieGoGo launched in 2008 to address the fundraising challenges and market inefficiencies affecting independent filmmaking today. IndieGoGo enables this “filmocracy” by providing filmmakers an open platform to pitch their projects to the world, and giving the fans a vehicle to experience and influence the once inaccessible world of filmmaking.

Filmmakers get new resources to build and engage a loyal fan base to assist in making their projects happen. Filmmakers can raise money and awareness, find cast and crew, and gain credibility through the help of their number one resource: their fans.

Fans get the opportunity to discover and impact the films of tomorrow while getting insider access and VIP perks for their contributions. But beyond the VIP perks, fans get an everyday opportunity to support the people, films, or causes they believe in.
