Jonny Price (Wefunder) on Making Investors Part of the Story

You’ve got the script. Now how do you actually get it made? In this episode, Mark Elias sits down with Wefunder President Jonny Price to break down equity crowdfunding—and how filmmakers are raising real money by turning their audience into investors. They dive into what separates successful campaigns from the ones that stall, why momentum matters more than you think, and how to position your film as an opportunity people want to be part of. This isn’t about posting a page and hoping for the best. It’s about strategy, storytelling, and building a community before you ever ask for a dollar. If you’re serious about getting your project off the ground, this is where the work really begins.
