Capital C

The documentary presents itself as the first work made about crowdfunding. It follows independent makers trying to start something of their own: they put their idea online, try to raise money, and then have to deliver what they promised with the money raised. The film shows what success means and what promises that cannot be met mean as well. The account takes the support of the crowd not only as an opportunity but also as a debt. The account also shows the preparation behind the campaigns: making a video, building a story and asking strangers for money is a job in itself. The eighty seven minute documentary by Timon Birkhofer and Jorg M. Kundinger was completed in 2015.
