Summary
ScreenWest, a state agency on the opposite coast of Australia, has decided to put three dollars towards every dollar raised for local filmmakers using online crowd funding platform Pozible.
The Western Australian agency has only put aside $260,000 in total (A$250,000) and has set a $157,000 (A$150,000) limit on individual projects, but the ‘3 to 1’ initiative is being billed as a world first.
Description
Last year an Australian Government review into private sector support for the arts recommended public support for crowd funding.
