SnagFilms and IndieGoGo Join Forces To Give Documentary Filmmakers More Filmanthropy Opportunities

Posted July 7, 2009

SnagFilms has partnered with Indiegogo.com, the most trafficked website for film funding, to give documentary filmmakers access to more fundraising and exposure opportunities.

Select IndieGoGo works-in-progress will get featured on Snag Films. Inaugural works include:

• Connected- by Tiffany Shlain- Connected takes audiences on a stream-of-consciousness ride through the interconnectedness of humankind.
• Pelotero – by Jon Paley - A Dominican baseball story
• Tapestries of Hope – by Michaelene Christini Risly - Two activists from two corners of the world take on a government and an urban myth to protect young girls from rape and abuse.

SnagFilms visitors can watch these works-in-progress and use IndieGoGo’s DIWO (Do-It-With-Others) Filmmaking tools to support the films. This collaboration is a natural extension of SnagFilms’ commitment to “filmanthropy” and its mission to support independent filmmakers and the causes their films highlight.
