19 avril 2010A world première and an immediate success! The ‘crowd funding’ project MyDorcel.com, launched by Marc Dorcel S.A. last Monday, was sold out in less than 78 hours!
On Thursday the 22 of April at 4 PM all 4.250 shares with a total value of € 85 000, priced at 20 euro each, were sold to in total 513 enthusiastic co-producers. With an average spending of 165 euro per buyer it is the most successful ‘crowd funding’ project in France so far!
Among these 513 responsive buyers are three co-producers investing € 5000. This well appreciated initiative and vote of confidence is rewarded with a visit to the set, a meet and greet with the crew including the famous director Herve Bodilis and a photo shoot with Marc Dorcel and the actresses.
One web user, who wishes to remain anonymous, invested € 10.000 which gives him the possibility to direct his own movie scene with the help of the professional Marc Dorcel crew.
More and more fans and followers!!
Besides our co-producers, another 50 enthusiastic Web users per day (already 600 in total!!), register to Mydorcel.com to have access to the special ‘backstage’ website. On this website, which will be open till September 2010, members can win various prices like a visit to the set, a photo shoot with the actresses or a ticket to the premiere of the movie. Subscription to Mydorcel.com is € 20 and for € 20 more, your name will be added to the credits of the movie.
MARC DORCEL allows on his www.mydorcel.com website (to every web user with the legal age) to participate in its next production “Mademoiselle de Paris” through a crowd funding system.
Unlike other crowd funding websites, which only ‘bet’ on a positive result of the final product, www.mydorcel.com enables participants to join the artistic process of its production. The VOD release of the movie, which will be made in France, is expected by mid-June and the official DVD release is planned for October 2010.
85000 euros collected in 78 hours.
In 78 hours the share allotted to the future coproducers (i.e 85000 euros) has been collected in full!!
And the number of active members keeps on growing!! (More than 50 a day – already 600 registered members)
Amongst our lucky coproducers, 3 of them have invested 5000 euros. This grants them the possibility to attend to the shooting during one day, to meet the movie staff, including Hervé Bodilis the director and to attend a photo session with Marc Dorcel and the actresses.
An anonymous web user has invested 10000€ to also have the possibility to direct his own movie scene in collaboration with the movie staff.
