Our crowdfunding campaign has now ended. After a strong start things unfortunately slowed down, and we finished at 26,225 SEK. And since all campaigns on Indiegogo now operate under fixed funding – meaning you only receive the money if you reach the full goal – we won’t be receiving any of that amount. It’s disappointing, sure, but that’s how the system works.
Maybe we set the goal too high, but to create the practical effects we were aiming for, we needed to. Now we’ll simplify the film, or rather stick to the same style we used for the Killjerk short film from 2023. That one turned out pretty scary – and that approach works too.
Being an indie filmmaker often means one step forward and two steps back. You try things, you learn what works and what doesn’t.
Would I try crowdfunding again? Yes, definitely.
Would I do anything differently? Too early to say.
During this campaign I kept thinking about something I heard in a podcast about crowdfunding specifically for filmmakers: crowdfunding isn’t just about raising money – it’s also about gathering people. Finding those who are interested in the film. Creating awareness. It’s a marketing campaign, in a sense.
Did we succeed in that?
Yes, actually. Pretty well.
The film will be made regardless – on our usual micro-budget.

Enough talk. Now pre-production truly begins.
