What happens AFTER Kickstarter?

Ever wonder what happens to the Kickstarter or IndieGoGo campaigns you supported? If they are of a creative nature you might have gotten a copy of the book or a down load of the film, but what about all those cool gadgets?  
 
Now there is a website, OUT GROW ME which is the first marketplace for successfully funded Kickstarter and IndieGoGo projects (thank you, Swiss Miss).  And I have to say, some of them are VERY cool…. I wish I had known about this link for the holiday season… but it’s never too late to give.

A year ago we accompanied David Mandel and his partners on the Kickstarter campaign for their feature Mulligan.  Here, a year and one more Kickstarter campaign later, a wrap up.

David: you now have two Kickstarter campaigns under your belt one, the feature Mulligan very successful the other, a documentary Indestructible Baseball on the Isthmus not so. Can you tell us where the big differences were between the two campaigns in terms of preparation, staffing, ask level, execution and leverage with ‘goodies’?

Identity and the Other – Synopsis

Here the (current) Synopsis for my next film Identity and the Other:
 
How Swiss are Muslims living in Switzerland, how Swiss do they want to be and who decides if they are Swiss enough?
 
Identity and the Other explores the lives of several 2nd generation, millennial, Muslim immigrants, which represent a section of a culturally, religiously and ethnically diverse Switzerland many Swiss feel uneasy about.
