6. Lake Bell
Lake Bell, actress and screenwriter, was one of the first celebrities to take to Kickstarter in order to raise money for a campaign. Bell was asking for a measly $8,000, which, by today’s Kickstarter standards, is absolutely nothing. She was raising funds for a short comedy film.
After this, Bell went on to write, direct and co-produce In A World, a feature length film about a voice-coach trying to break into the boys’ club of voice-over work on trailers. In a World was well received, currently boasting a 92% on Rotten Tomatoes and earning nearly $3 million in its limited box office release.
