You can set your account to accept donations from others, and then invite friends to chip in toward your producer credit to move your name up the list. Everyone who chips in $1 or more will become listed as your benefactor. Try to become an Executive Producer! Our Top 11 Producers will get a title credit before the movie begins. more fundraising ideas
