Anyone who donates at least 1 dollar will get an invitation on march 1st 2010 to be one of the founding members of the site and you'll be able to request any film and put on any screening of any film on the site. This could be for a group of friends in your living room or renting out your local cineplex. In the first few months there be a limit of 1 screening per week per user and each user will only be able to have two films selected for download at a time. This is to keep us on budget and not incur massive data transfer expenses. But this is enough to get a screening series off the ground that is dedicated to showing your personal picks of the 100 pioneering films. Lets hope they don't all suck. Haha. But we know we have Four Eyed Monsters, Moonshine, Head Trauma, Abel Raises Cain, We Are The Strange and I'm sure many others that I can personally assure you are definitely worth screening.

OpenIndie.com is being created based on the distribution strategies we implemented with Four Eyed Monsters, so in celebration of this, everyone who has or now makes a donation of 15 dollars will be mailed a Four Eyed Monsters Music CD. (Only to US, Canada or UK addresses due to shipping costs.) For a full track list check out our post on the updates tab of this page. For more information about the CD, check out: http://foureyedmonsters.com/category/music/

Filmmaker profile that works to upload your mailing list into so that all of your fans will hear about any screening that gets put on. Any member of the site will be able to put on a screening of your film. They'll be able to download your film so you don't have to mail DVDs to the hosts. They'll be able to Use OpenIndie.com to give you all the donations collected at the screening. And you'll get a button on your films page that allows people to make a donation. This works regardless of where they saw your film. Think of it like a tip jar for your film. This profile will be live and active for 10 months at the end of which time we'll assess how to move forward and sustain the site. In addition, you'll also get 1 hour of free consulting time with myself, Arin Crumley scheduled during mutual availability at some point during the 10 month period. During this consultation we'll discuss what the goals of your filmmaking are and I'll mentor you in how to best take advantage of various technologies, methodologies and modes of thinking that can bring you more success. Note: If you're not a filmmaker but pledge $100 or more you may donate the 1 hour of consultancy to a filmmaker of your choice. However, you must have your chosen filmmaker contact kieran (at) openindie (dot) com with your name and their details before the Kickstarter campaign ends in order that we can match pledges to filmmakers.

If you want to bring more then one film into the mix, you can donate 1000 dollars and bring up to 10 films into openindie and get everything explained above including 10 free hours of consulting.
