Crowdfunded transmedia project “Moneyocracy” to document U.S. politics and 2012 election

Innovative Interactivity reporting:
I recently learned about “Moneyocracy,” a multimedia initiative consisting of a documentary, i-doc, and comic book by French photographers Gerald Holubowicz and Jean Nicholas Guillo.
They are trying to raise $48,000 to fund the project via KickStarter, and currently only have a little more than $3,000 with one week left. Check out their project and if you think it warrants support, I encourage you to spread the word and/or donate.
I am always happy to promote entrepreneurial initiatives in the multimedia community, so I hope these two can get the necessary funding and pursue this project!
Also, I think they’ve done an excellent job marketing their initiative, which others can learn from for your own crowdfunded projects. In addition to an extensive online presence with a website, blog and social media presence, they reached out to bloggers like myself with an extensive press kit (which makes my job helping them extremely easy).
“This is a transmedia documentary taking place during the 2012 U.S Presidential race. Its goal is to look at how campaign funding is affecting the democratic process. The project will be composed a documentary, an interactive documentary (i-doc) and a comic book.
The story focuses on the rise of new political groups called Super PACS and 501c4 and the consequences of the 2010 Citizens United vs F.E.C Supreme Court decision. … We’re definitely committed to raise awareness about this issue which – we think – threatened U.S democracy and seriously undermine people’s voice during the elections.
In the i-doc, the ‘spectactors’ play a fictional 501c4 board member. They get to decide how to market a fictional presidential candidate called Bill O’Maney and how to finance his campaign.
