Tired of waiting for the sequel to your favourite film to come out? Still hoping that someone will bring your favourite novel to life on the cinema screen? Unfortunately, most of us don't have the talent or the money to make our dream films become a reality. But what if other people have the same dream?

ln 2007, the TV show Veronica Mars ended after three seasons. Many fans of the show were disappointed because they still had questions about the show’s plot. So, its creator, Rob Thomas, wrote a film that answered these questions. In 2012, he logged onto kickstarter.com and asked the show’s fans for help.

Kickstarter is an American website that was founded in 2009. On the site a ’creator’ writes about a creative project that he/she needs money to make. Then, members of the public, called ’backers’, can donate to the project. Usually, backers are given different gifts for their donations. One fan who gave $10,000 will act in the film!

In just 24 hours, over 2 million dollars were donated to the Veronica Mars project. This was more than Thomas needed and he plans to start shooting the film in the near future. Over 10% of the films at the Sundance Film Festival in 2012 were Kickstarter films and, in 2013, three Kickstarter films were nominated for Academy Awards. It’s clear that Kickstarter is changing the way films are made forever!

Many fans of Veronica Mars were satisfied with how the show ended.
