The session will include a case study from Darren Langlands whose most recent short film Last Man on Earth was successfully crowdfunded on Indiegogo last year. Darren is an award winning writer, editor, producer and director who grew up by the seaside in sunny Sydney, Australia. After a career in journalism and marketing and years of extensive travel, he now calls the mostly dreary north of England home – don’t ask, people do silly things for love! Darren’s films have been shown at festivals and film events all over the world.
