Delicious Bookmarks for December 20th

These are my Delicious links for December 20th:

MotionSponsor.com – Fund a film,Share your dream – Potentially very interesting concept of crowd-sourced film financing. Much like the Internet has changed the profile of campaign finance (i.e. from few large donors to many small donors), there are many potential advantages of a micro-finance approach to film financing. By lowering the minimum threshold to participate in financing a film (in this case to €25) this kind of approach could enable a less profit-driven approach to film-making (i.e. I’m willing to donate $50 to a film idea I like without need to make it back) which may help more interesting but less marketable films get made. Given the potential for this idea, I’m surprised Motion Sponsor is the first implementation I’ve heard of. The company is actually French (the site is available in French and translated English) and they seem to have thought through the design of the system pretty well, however the site leaves a bit to be desired. Definitely a concept (if not an implementation) to watch.

Don't just sit there, do something!
