FanDependent

FanDependent is a service that empowers content creators by connecting them with their audience through social media, crowdfunding and innovative distribution. FanDependent was kickstarted in May 2012 on receiving the Innovative Distribution grant from Screen Australia, and is joint funded by Spectrum Films. 

We believe the established film ecosystem and the rules by which we have made films for decades are changing dramatically due to the internet and all it's wonders. We believe this change has put filmmakers in a powerful position. Filmmakers can now communicate directly with their audience. They can build an ongoing relationship with their fans that can span the lifetime of the creator - or beyond. Filmmakers can now finance, produce, market and distribute a film on their own terms without compromising their rights to the final product.
