8. Charlie Kaufman And Dan Harmon
In 2012, Charlie Kaufman, Oscar-winning screenwriter of the bittersweet but very trippy Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, turned to Kickstarter to fund Anomalisa. If that title sounds familiar, it’s because the film was released to rave reviews in 2015.
Kaufman and Dan Harmon, creator of Community, asked for $200,000 to help make their stop-motion film a reality. Kaufman and Harmon raised double what they had asked for and rewarded backers with very cool gifts like original pieces of artwork.
Kaufman and Harmon had proved that you may not need to be a famous actor or actress to raise some real capital on Kickstarter.
