From Kyle Reese to Cpl. Dwayne Hicks and beyond, Michael Biehn is well-known within the horror and sci-fi genres for playing memorable characters throughout his career.

So you're all excited about crowdfunding your first/dream/calling-card film project via Kickstarter or IndieGoGo.

But you're not Zach Braff, and you're definitely not "Veronica Mars." In fact, once you've reached out to all the friends, relatives and colleagues willing to donate some bucks, how on earth are you going to reach and impress the total strangers you might need to make your goal amount (and if you don't, in most cases, you'll never see a cent) in the allotted campaign period?

The Crowdfunding Film Society may have the answer for that and many other questions about the process.
