FT 0003 : Building a Loyal Community Around Your Film with Nicolas Alcala of The Cosmonaut

Summary: In this episode of Film Thrive we talk with Nicolas Alcala, the writer, director, and producer of The Cosmonaut, an open-source feature film and transmedia project. This was the first crowd-funded feature film in Spain and resulted in an incredible following that raised over a half a million euros. The indie film and community around were built from scratch, starting out as an experiment Nicolas and his friends began in their first year of film school. Nicolas goes into the whole process they went through during The Cosmonaut and presents a lot of great concepts and tips for any filmmaker who wants to build a community around their feature film while you are making it.
