Honestly, using online movie crowd funding to me I'm still on the fence if it's harder to say yes to making a movie with money from family and friends and your own pocket or to deal with film investors. Many indie films are funded through family, friends, online movie crowd funding or your own cash. Saying yes to making a movie is really putting your ass out there creatively and financially. The one thing that successful gamblers and filmmakers need is the attitude that they are going to go all in on their movie making risk.
Professional gamblers make educated bets and so should filmmakers. You try your best as a filmmaker to tilt the odds in your favor as much as possible so you can win. Making a movie to me is like gambling. Sometimes a movie falls apart during pre-production, filming or in post-production for lots of different reasons. Making movies is risky creatively and financially.
In the world of making of movies, especially at the indie film level, there are zero guarantees that every aspiring filmmaker that sets out to go from screenplay to distributed movie will make it to the end. Saying yes to making a movie starts with an attitude that regardless if your movie is entertaining or terrible at least you give it an honest go to see if you got the fire in you to make movies. There are extremely talented potential filmmakers out there that never make a movie because they just can't bring themselves to take the leap of faith.
