Building your community, creating derived products, widening your audience, testing and targeting your public, mixing different funding tools, etc. Crowdfunding is more than a simple search for funds, it is a powerful tool with much to offer for your movie's successful outcome.



Thanks to two project creators' feed-backs, learn to build and give life to your very own crowdfunding campaign. In 2013 Noob, an amateur featured film, managed to raise over €680,000 thanks to its campaign. Night Fare, whose campaign was launched on Ulule in 2014, is also proud to see its feature film released in theaters this year after the Cannes Film Festival.
