Crowdfunded film- Da Sweet Blood of Jesus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n739-zHeooQThis was a film that was directed by Spike Lee; He took the decision to crowdfund fund as no film studios were interested in putting there time into it which . Around 6,400 people backed the funding of this film, helping raise a total $1,418,910. The funding took around a month to complete, starting on the 22ndJuly 2013 through August 21st2013. The incentives offered for crowdfunding included spending a day with Spike Lee and the film editors, signed merchandise, bumper stickers, tickets to the film premiere and vintage pins.
