Le Crowdfunding[1] est une approche permettant le financement de projets en faisant appel à un grand nombre de personnes ordinaires (internautes, réseaux de contact, amis, etc.) pour faire de petits investissements. Une fois cumulés, ces investissements permettront de financer des projets qui auraient potentiellement eu de la difficulté à recevoir un financement traditionnel (banques, investisseurs, etc.). Grâce aux réseaux sociaux et aux communautés en ligne, il devient aujourd'hui facile et peu coûteux de rejoindre un grand nombre de personnes potentiellement intéressées à soutenir des projets. L'approche reçoit actuellement l'attention du public, en particulier des producteurs de cinéma indépendant[2][3]. Crowdfunding est utilisé pour répondre à une grande variété de besoins: secours aux sinistrés, journalisme citoyen, artistes cherchant le soutien, campagnes politiques, etc. Approches Exemples de projets Startup Cinéma Documentaire Musique
