Making Crowd Funding Even Better

Rob Thomas, the creator of the now Kickstarter-crowdfunding- phenomenon, tells THR that the money was coming in so fast that he couldn’t use his iPhone and had to remove the Kickstarter app. In defense of major Hollywood studio Warner Bros., Thomas noted that the Veronica Mars campaign has made Kickstarter more mainstream and as for the independent film makers and their ilk who are badmouthing him, he believes that “… we’re bringing more eyes to that site, so I think that has to be good for indie filmmakers.” Watch for the Veronica Mars team at Comic Con this year!
