    Crowdfunding Tips from a First Timer | Filmmaker Kelsey Jonikas

    Crowdfunding Tips from a First Timer | Filmmaker Kelsey Jonikas

    Welcome to Season Two of OKAY BACK TO ONE!
     
    And hasn't it just been one hellava back to one for all of us?! Nick and I are trying to get back on track with a micro-budget film we've been writing! Once we've shot it, we’re thinking of doing a crowdfunding campaign to raise the money for post. I’ve never crowdfunded so luckily my friend, Kelsey Jonikas, agreed to share what she’s learning running her first campaign right now. I first met Kelsey as the sound mixer on ARMSTRONG and so she’s also going to give us some feedback on WHAT WE GOT WRONG!

    KELSEY'S BIO
    Kelsey Jonikas is a union boom operator and utility who got her start in the film industry eight years ago as a bag mixer on independent short films and features. Now her resume spans multiple films and TV shows including Netflix's LUCIFER, ATYPICAL, ANIMAL KINGDOM, and GREY'S ANATOMY. In the past few years she has also branched out into the world of screenwriting and is currently in pre-production of her first short film LEVEL ONE.
