.
KickstarterVenue: On the roof of the Old American Can Factory, 232 3rd Street, Gowanus Brooklyn.
8:00pm: Doors Open
8:30pm: Live music by Zlatne Uste Balkan Brass Band
9:00pm: Films
11:30pm: After party with complimentary drinks courtesy of Radeberger & Sailor Jerry
Tickets: $10 online or at the door
Kickstarter is a new way to fund creative ideas and ambitious endeavors, and in the last year hundreds of filmmakers, musicians, artists and organizations have made use of their unique services to get their projects started and finished. Based around the idea that a good idea, communicated well, can spread fast and wide, Kickstarter is spearheading a revolution in creative fundraising, helping artists build their own supportive communities. On this evening we will celebrate many of the exciting new projects that are being produced with support generated through Kickstarter.com.
The festival will feature 90 minutes of film and video from a dozen Kickstarter projects, including feature films, stop-motion animation, documentaries, art, and dance. All of them amazing. There's much more than film, though. We're lucky enough to have a handful of Kickstarter food projects serving as vendors for the event. They'll be selling things like artisanal sodas, homemade ice cream, amazing pies, fresh vegetables from urban farms, delicious cakes, and more. It's going to be delicious. There will also be music! Before the screening enjoy the amazing Zlatne Uste Balkan Brass Band, the focus of the Kickstarter-funded Brasslands documentary. Watch the project video for moreon the officlal website
