For Indie Filmmakers
Crowdfund your film, department by department
Pre-production, principal photography, post. Each department becomes its own sub-fundraiser with its own goal and progress bar, while the parent campaign tracks the whole production budget. Recurring backer memberships, tiered perk packages, and a print + merch store for premiere swag. 2.5% flat all-in.

Why ScanRaise fits indie film budgets
Department-by-department breakdown. Pre-production, principal, post-production, sound mix, color, festival entries. Each department is its own group inside the parent campaign with its own goal. Backers see exactly where their dollars are going.
Recurring backer memberships. $10/mo Associate Producer credit through the production. $50/mo gets a private dailies feed. Stripe handles billing; you keep 97.5%.
Tiered perk packages. $25 digital download, $100 signed poster, $500 set-visit credit, $5,000 Producer credit on screen. Each tier has its own capacity and visibility, with private patron tiers for friends-and-family-only options.
Premiere store + merch fulfillment. Sell numbered-edition signed posters, hat-and-shirt merch, festival passes. The numbered-edition store puts "1 of 50" on each receipt automatically.
