Crowd Funding & Townsend Productions

PLEASE CAN WE HAVE YOUR FEEDBACK? WE ARE THINKING OF USING CROWD FUNDING TO RAISE MONEY TO BE ABLE TO EMPLOY AN EXTRA ACTOR FOR OUR NEW PROJECT " DARE DEVIL RIDES TO JARAMA" Hello We are thinking of using a device that many artists and theatre companies use today to raise money for their project and it's called Crowd funding. How it works is that individuals/ companies can donate small amounts of money which after a period of time builds up into a bigger sum of money, hopefully! The reason we are thinking of doing this even though we have had some amazing sponsorship from our associates the IBMT & The Trade Unions NASUWT, FBU, UNITE, UNISON and the GMB  we are just short of being able to employ another actor in the show. However I would like some feedback on this to see if people /companies think this is a good idea, would you be willing to pledge and/or help share the information on social media. Please e mail me directly: townsendproductions@hotmail.co.uk Below is what the content Crowd Funding document will say. Many Thanks Louise - 07949635910  e-mail: townsendproductions@hotmail.co.uk TRAILER https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SqGCLotudo
