Popis: In this paper the business viability of a crowdfunding platform for movie production in a small geographical region is assessed. Based on a benchmarking study, we compiled a set of typical value-network elements, resulting in a proposed business model that employs a hybrid set of financing and revenue sources. Finally, we project this model on available data and constructed a pessimistic, neutral and optimistic scenario about the viability of such a platform. We conclude that in such a small market, it will never create the necessary revenues for the production of long feature movies. However, a crowdfunding platform could proof valuable when combined with other means of financing, for smaller movie formats.
