Ryan M. Kennedy is a renowned American screenwriter and director who has made a significant impact in the film industry. His feature film debut, "An Act of War" (also known as "The Projectionist"),was released on March 31, 2015, in North America by Revolver Entertainment.
What's particularly noteworthy about this film is that it was the first-ever movie to utilize Kickstarter as a release platform. The innovative approach allowed supporters to receive copies of the film in exchange for their contributions, which were used to cover the costs associated with self-distribution, rather than production expenses.
This groundbreaking strategy garnered national recognition from prominent outlets such as Bloomberg TV, IndieWire, Business Week, The Producers Guild of America, and Collider Entertainment. As a result, Kennedy formed a partnership with Revolver Entertainment, further solidifying his reputation as a pioneering filmmaker.
