Dreams come cheap, right? $1 for a lottery ticket and now, $1 for a producing credit? For a movie that could conceivably have more producers than there are zombies in The Walking Dead, Barrie Osborne (one of the producers on The Lord Of The Rings and The Matrix) is looking to Kickstarter to help fund his next film outing, Talk Is Cheap. And he’s giving away producing credits for the contribution of only $1 on his hopeful way to raise $1.5M.
So far there are 74 … no wait … 80 backers (wow, it raised in a matter of seconds). So does this mean he’s going to serve up 80 producer credits? “Associate producer credits,” says Osborne’s and director-writer-producer Jim Jarrett’s PR spokesman. Really? Yes. If successfully funded, the film’s on-screen credit crawl could include the individual names of at least 1.5 million Kickstarter contributors. Make that 1.5 million and three — John Labrie is producing with Osborne and Jarrett.
