Born of Hope gemaakt dankzij YouTube

Grappig project: De film Born of Hope is gemaakt dankzij donaties die de regisseur via YouTube heeft weten binnen te halen. “There are cute, inexpensive fan films, and then there are epic, big-budgeted FAN films. Directed and produced by uber Lord of the Rings super geek Kate Madison, Born of Hope falls into the latter category with its close to $40,000 budget and 400 actors and extras. The full-length feature film (roughly 71 minutes) took about a year to make and is set well before the events of the first three films.
In order to help fund the film, Madison took a unique approach in asking for donations through YouTube, and though we don’t have specific dollar amounts, Born of Hope may have set a record for the most amount of money raised through YouTube for an independent fan film.”
