Seed&Spark, a crowdfunding solution for independent filmmakers, has received its own seed money from Manitou Ventures, SourceN and angel investors. Seed&Spark's system "functions like a wedding registry," it says, connecting filmmakers and their projects directly to their viewers, growing budgets and audience size simultaneously. Filmmakers make wish lists of necessary expenses—anything from pricey travel to props to renting audition space—that users can finance in exchange for credits and access to the site's film catalog.
