Quote:I think donation or subscription -- or just budgeting through pre-sale -- models are kind of interesting. The guild was fan-financed its first season -- one of the internet structures I'm investigating could be similar. The more direct connection between the fan and the artist, the better. It would be fun to announce a project with and actor and THEN find out what the budget was based on the fans.

Quote:Originally posted by Haken on http://www.fireflyfans.net: Even if you might not like it because it's not Firefly, watch it anyway. Having Dollhouse succeed gives Joss more pull in Hollywood to do more, which means that with enough pull, he can make another Firefly movie. Just look at J.J. Abrams as an example as to what he is able to accomplish with a successful run on TV. Give Joss the power to do the same.
Quote: Things you can do that actually help: - digg the first episode. http://digg.com/television/Joss_Whedon_s_Dollhouse_episode_1_watch_online - Watch on Hulu. Then rate it. - Buy the episodes on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001SE9LY8/ref=dv_sparkle_Dollhouse - Or buy them on iTunes http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewTVShow?id=303019306 for your iPhone, iPod, Apple TV or Mac/PC. - Or watch on FOX.com. http://www.fox.com/fod/play.php?sh=dollhouse - Crank up your TiVo and watch that recorded copy you made. - Ask people if they've seen the show. - Watch next week.

Quote:Originally posted by Bringitback: The cast would come rushing back (in their spare time around their other jobs ofcourse) and Joss could have hundreds of thousands of dollars from fan donations before he even looks through a camera Its not that much of a stretch to imagine maybe one or two episodes of firefly a year under this kind of format..
