Basically you presell downloads to your film via Kinooga to actually finance the project. Similar concept to foreign presales, but on a smaller scale...
Kinooga lets you raise finances for your film project at any stage of its conception. You could be looking for development money for a script, looking for another few thousands bucks on an overspend, or simply trying to get the cash together to edit what you've already shot.
Interesting concept. My guess would be though there are a lot more people looking for money than there are people investing.
Check out their site for detailed info.

Who Am I?
I also created the Streamy and Webby award-winning web series PINK, which to date has been viewed online around 10 MILLION times at places like YouTube, Hulu, Koldcast and TheWB.com. And speaking of TheWB.com, I also produced and directed an online thriller for them called EXPOSED. It was released summer 2010. And most recently I created a new online sci-fi series called CONTINUUM, which is part of the online indie TV network JTS.tv - Just The Story and NOW available via VOD through indie platform Distrify.
Oh, and I don't shoot weddings. Thanks for asking though.

what's cool about kinooga is that the film makers share royalty points with those who are prebuying downloads in the form of free coupons that come attached with each download... so, in the case of the karmabanque movie, for every sale of the download after it's been made and released, all the prebuyers get some money back...

That is cool. It'll be interesting to see how the site grows and if it catches on.
Thanks for the comment.

Thanks, Dear Blake! :)
You know, I can't say I'm a fan. :)
Most likely I'm a very big friend [But Natalie doesn't know that... Sadly :( ]

Hi Blake!
I've just recently started looking into your films. I havent had the chance to see any just yet and I hope that you can tell me how to go about doing that. But I also wanted to know if there is way to get a hold of or know what other projects Matthew Tompkins will be doing. My mom and him used to be good friends as well as him being her personal trainer. I've gotten to see him in small roles here and there so I'm hoping to keep up with them. Sorry for rambling
