Charter/Mission

Encourage and support bootstrappers in the film industry to bootstrap their films and support each other. The film industry, as with many others, is undergoing a huge shift. Hollywood is moving to even larger-scale productions of concepts that have existing brands and can be serialized - Spiderman, Pirates, Shrek, Oceans, etc. Meanwhile, the costs of making films has gone dramatically down both from a recording and editing standpoint, making it more accessible. Bootstrap filmmakers can find their niche customers through innovative sales, marketing and use of the Internet. This requires a shift in mindset away from investors and movie theatres as final destinations. It even changes what a "film" is, as consumers start consuming stories on their computers, ipods and phones.

As with any period of change, it's a time of great opportunity for bootstrappers!
