i think kickstarter can unlock your ideas. lot of what happens is we think of ideas -- >> your idea is molded and shaped in a new way. >> is always your vision. our thinking is that it is your platform to do what you want. but you do not have to think about how much money you need. >> what is the makers movement? >> there is a real change happening in how we appreciate where things come from. what you see through kickstarter is a real revolution in manufacturing. if you think about it and you look at a kickstarter project, you see how this comes to be. you have a visit to the factory and the creator. you have a sense of the global supply chain. a product might get clocked off a tree by magic. in actuality, there are years of work. all that is hidden behind the curtain. now you can see giant companies emulating kickstarter. the process can be transparent. you can see how came to life. even if the products have an author. the exposition of that and the sharing of that, it really raises the educational awareness level. people sen

kickstarter, kickstarter project would make that contribution because they may imagine that there are other people like me would enjoy this. unless we participate, we won't get the food service. >> yes. we're making a better world. we're creating the culture that we want to see rather than accepting the one we already v the billion dollars is coming from people around the world largely in $25 increments. it's not like people are spending their life money. it's a big difference to bring something to life. >> rose: you just passed $1 billion the mark of the financial size of the pledges. >> right. >> rose: $1 billion. >> yes. >> rose: is that a milestone of significance. >> i guess so. it's certainly a big number. i don't really know what to think about it except that it shows that a lot of people around the world care about bringing things to life and care about creative things. this happened mind you in the most five years during great economic duress. at the same time we're being told money should be used for very utilitarian things and things like arts budgets have typically been cu

why did they use kickstart her to raise the funds?nd of my use kickstarter to fund his band's album. it was a first time i have ever seen kickstarter or knew what crowd found it was. i learned how crowd funding works. i started doing back of the cocktail napkin maps. it seemed crazy at the time. could be raised a couple of million dollars on kickstarter to fund a movie? at the time, the biggest kickstarter project was 900,000. we would have been asking for more than twice of their largest project. it seemed a bit crazy when i thought of that, but we kept pursuing it until we got a yes. >> you have thousands of backers as a result. what do these backers get? will we see a world record of producer credits at the end of "veronica mars"? [laughter] >> getting producer credit was one of the things i originally was going to offer, but the producers guild of america veto that plan. they get various things. wasmost common backer level $35 level where people would get a digital download of the movie come a t-shirt, and a copy of the script. fo

could we raise a couple million dollars on kickstarter to fund our movie?, the biggest project ever was 900,000. we would have been asking for more than twice the largest project ever. it seemed a bit crazy when i thought of it. we cap pursuing it. we got a yes. have thousands and thousands of backers as a result. what do they get? are we going to see a world record of producer credits at the end? wasiving producer credits one of the things i originally was going to offer. the producers guild of america vetoed that plan. big various things. level wasommon backer $35 where people would get a digital download of the movie, a t-shirt, and a copy of the script. for $50 extra they also got the includes ad which making of documentary on it. and it went all the way up to $10,000 for one backer who got a speaker role. people can donate at the dollar level. they can get all of the updates over the course of the movie. events gilligan on this program. he talked about, has or not them platforms like netflix where people can stay up to date or even do some binge viewin

>> really the only thing you don't see on kickstarter are charitable projects. for-profit company so i think it would be wrong for us to make money out of someone's medical expenses or something like that. so we are focused just on that but really anything creative and anything that might come from your imagination. >> sounds like venture capital? >> no we have some constraints and also we like the idea that there's a place in the world focused just on creativity and the human imagination and those sorts of inspiring things. >> i'm trying to think of a good idea to send your way. thank you, yancey. really good to see you. i ain't got nothing yet. >>> "the good wife's" alan cumming is in our toyota green room. we'll look at what's ahead -- >> no. >> yes you're there. >> what's ahead for eli gold and how life is about to become a cabaret yet again. you used to sleep like a champ you lay down, clocked off and next thing you knew good morning. so what happened? life happened. work. stress. fun. bad habits. kids. kids. kids. now what? not milk. not sheep. not that. l

. >> charlie: like kickstarter? kickstarter for real investors. kickstarter basically allows you to give money to projects. you like a cool singer or an indy moviemaker and you can send them money. but today on kickstarter you can't invest money in companies. so we allow the credited investors, you actually have to have a million dollars of net worth or income. so they can go online and look at best startups coming out of israel and see which one they would like to invest in with $20 million. so it's not 20 bucks. somebody called us kick starters for millionaires. it's still quite democratic compared to the existing venture capital ecosystem with a couple of guys in a closed room. >> charlie: an a quote from ariel harkman, said israel in the next 20 years represent critical junction on economic road to prosperity. the choices for israel will be content selling innovation to the highest foreign bidder, must remain an outsource laboratory for more prosperous economies or if it will be willing to develop a comprehensive manufacturing base of its own

i don't think what we do would fill the space that kickstarter operates in, but in terms of how kickstarter descruptz, how things can be funded and disrupts typical economics and empowers people through that process and brings together people for a reason other than a normative transactional reason, i think there are a lot of similarities. >> rose: 85 me a person who would use this and a person who would receive benefit from this? >> the way people post it's written like a tweet. so it's very open. the only ground rule is everything is done for free. you're asking for things or offering things with the understanding. but thereby it becomes very open. some people have been using it for advice. some people have been offering languages or asking for languages. some people are giving products. >> rose: here's what i don't understand about you. what is it you want to do? you went to cambridge and did well. you were a model and did well. well, being on the cover of magazines, i guess. you've had small roles in a couple of movies. >> yeah. >> rose: now you've create aid web site. what is it you wa
