Veronica Mars Kickstarter Ended

...and they made $5,702,153 which is waaaaay more than the $2m they were aiming for.

Only time will tell what they do with the extra cash, what the movie with be like and if it may have just changed how we fund film and TV projects forever!

Why the Veronica Mars Kickstarter may just change the film industry and the universe, as we know it

That may be a slight exaggeration but hear me out.

I wanted to be Veronica Mars. I wanted to be the cool, sassy outcast who everyone secretly wants to be, who solves crimes that the incompetent police cannot, who wears improbably expensive clothes for someone from the poor side of town, who has a high number of guys chat her up and smoulder at her, who has witty remark for every occasion and a cool Phillip Marlowe-esque internal monologue describing her every action. I really loved that show.

Amanda Palmer's talk at TED about crowd funding and asking fans for help. While she talks mostly about music, in light of the Veronica Mars Kickstarter it seems relevant for all areas of the arts.
