PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS: CROWDFUNDING 2.0

Crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter, Indiegogo, and RocketHub have been popular in recent years, connecting filmmakers with individuals willing to donate to projects for honorary credits or other incentives.

Bodine (Partner at Cowan, DeBaets, Abrahams & Sheppard LLP) and Brian Meece (RocketHub), addresses what impact the anticipated new SEC rules on this form of crowdfunding might have for independent filmmakers.
