Our friends @ the Smoke Out 14 are out crowdsourcing for their new lifestyle film, which is called The ROAD 2 SMOKE OUT and is a new film from Zack Coffman, Producer of Choppertown. It’s highlighted on the Indiegogo site.
Crowdsourcing is the practice of obtaining needed services, ideas, or content by soliciting contributions from a large group of people, and especially from an online community.
Crowdfunding has its origins in the concept of crowdsourcing, which is the broader concept of an individual reaching a goal by receiving and leveraging small contributions from many parties. Crowdfunding is the application of this concept to the collection of funds through small contributions from many parties in order to finance a particular project or venture.
Crowdfunding models involve a variety of participants. They include the people or organizations that propose the ideas and/or projects to be funded, and the crowd of people who support the proposals. Crowdfunding is then supported by an organization (the “platform”) which brings together the project initiator and the crowd.
