“LOST IN SUNSHINE” — CROWDFUNDING TRANSMEDIA R&D

By in News
on Monday, February 7th, 2011

Writer/director Jentri Chancey emailed to tell me about her and producer Lorrie Marsh’s approach to developing their independent film project, Lost in Sunshine.

She writes:

We’ve been continuously working to lift this project from its feet for the past two years. Our approach is to reach out to our (target) audience before the movie’s ever made. And creating an online prequel by expanding narratives, and enhancing audience participation via games, etc., is how we’re attempting to do it.

Instead of raising money for actual film production costs right now, we’re raising funds so that we can use fan input, digital storytelling & interactive games to present an “online prequel” for Lost in Sunshine, a comedy-drama movie-to-be.

They’re at the beginning of an Indiegogo campaign and trying to raise $10,000. Through the link below you can visit the Indiegogo page and watch Chancey and Marsh explain further their approach.

    Thanks for sharing a post about our efforts, Scott. And, @Deni – I visited your site, and I can appreciate that you have high tastes in online media. I’d love for Lostinsunshine.com to get close to the polish of some of the media projects you hilite there — that’s why we’re seeking donations to improve upon what we have. Everything we’ve put up has been done between day jobs and with NO MONEY. I’m super-proud of what my team has accomplished with their inspiration, faith and skills. If you want to challenge us to make it better, come on over and make a donation. :)
