How It All Works

Before you begin, make sure to get the Seed&Spark Handbook. This has really important tips and guidance on how to run a successful crowdfunding campaign, from message testing to your pitch video. Memorize it.

Getting Started

STEP 1: Use Start a Project to submit your campaign. Check out our Partner offerings for your WishList—you might want to include a Sponsored item!

Receive feedback from a real person! We really want you to succeed.

STEP 2: Make improvements and edit your campaign based on feedback.
STEP 3: Submit your banking info ( US only ) and W-2 so we can pay you!
STEP 4: Prep your outreach materials, including emails, updates, social media posts. Reference our Seed&Spark Handbook lots.

Your campaign goes in for final review… and gets approved! Hooray!

During the Campaign

Your audience makes contributions because they’re inspired by your amazing project, either in cash or through WishList loans.
Gather 1,000 followers during your campaign to unlock guaranteed distribution and prizes.
Raise at least 80% of your goal.

Afterwards: Getting That Money!

You get your funds, less our fees, within seven business days after the campaign closes.
You’ll receive a 1099 at the end of the year for funds raised.
Take that money raised and make your film on your terms. We’re behind you 100%.

You made a movie! Now what?

If you run a successful crowdfunding campaign and gather 1,000 followers or more, congratulations! You are automatically eligible for distribution through Seed&Spark AND our partners! This includes all major cable and digital platforms such as iTunes, Comcast, Verizon, Netflix, and Hulu.

If you didn’t crowdfund through Seed&Spark, but have gathered at least 1,000 followers through a crowdfunding campaign or social media, we would be happy to consider your film.
