Examples of what kickstarter has funded 

This is another example of what kickstarter funded. The short film is called love stinks and it's a comedy which was shooted in Canada and they funded 85% of it with $5,106. 46 backers and it has 24 days left. 
This is an example of a short film that kickstarte funded. The short film is called 'MNSTR'. The location is in New York and they funded 119% into it with $16,176 with 54 backers and only 3 days left. 
And these are a few more examples. This proves that kickstarter would help me with my short film 
Kickstarter would benfit me and my movie because it will help me take a step further on getting my film seen. Kickstarter doesn't just help film makers, they also help artists, musicians, designers and other creators to support their ideas.

Kickstarter is an enormous global community built around creativity and creative projects. Over 10 million people, from every continent on earth, have backed a Kickstarter project.
Some of those projects come from influential artists like De La Soul or Marina Abramović. Most come from amazing creative people you probably haven’t heard of — from Grandma Pearl to indie filmmakers to the band down the street.
Every artist, filmmaker, designer, developer, and creator on Kickstarter has complete creative control over their work — and the opportunity to share it with a vibrant community of backers.
“Kickstarter is one of those platforms that gives you space to work with people who know you, love you, and support you.”
— De La Soul
Our mission.
We built Kickstarter to help bring creative projects to life. We measure our success as a company by how well we achieve that mission, not by the size of our profits. That’s why, in 2015, we became a Benefit Corporation. Benefit Corporations are for-profit companies that are obligated to consider the impact of their decisions on society, not only shareholders. Radically, positive impact on society becomes part of a Benefit Corporation’s legally defined goals.
When we became a Benefit Corporation, we amended our corporate charter to lay out specific goals and commitments to arts and culture, making our values core to our operations, fighting inequality, and helping creative projects come to life. You can read our commitments in full below.
Since our launch, on April 28, 2009, 10 million people have backed a project, $2.2 Billion has been pledged, and 99,648projects have been successfully funded.
Our team.
We're an independent, founder-controlled company of 134 people working together in an old pencil factory in New York City. We spend our time designing and building Kickstarter, connecting people around inspiring creative projects, and having a lot of fun doing it.
We’re developers, designers, support specialists, writers, musicians, painters, poets, gamers, robot-builders — you name it. Between us, we’ve backed more than 34,000 projects (and launched plenty of our own).
Our history.
Kickstarter launched on April 28, 2009. A lot has happened since.
We had the craziest 24 hours ever. We saw $1 billion get pledged. We shared the early designs behind Kickstarter. We learned what a Kickstarter project looked like back in 1713. We talked about why Kickstarter matters. We made some important changes to how we govern the site. We put on film festivals in 2011201220132014, and 2015. A project won an Oscar. And after five years, we made a video about it all.
Our story,
as told by founder Perry Chen
“I was living in New Orleans in late 2001 and I wanted to bring a pair of DJs down to play a show during the 2002 Jazz Fest. I found a great venue and reached out to their management, but in the end the show never happened—it was just too much money...

For the press.
If you’re writing about Kickstarter or covering a Kickstarter project, head this way to find background material, press contacts, and visual assets.
“It’s the best way to connect with people who can truly help you. There’s a class of people called ‘early adopters’, but Kickstarter backers are so much earlier than that!”
— Lisa Fetterman
Let’s bring more creativity into the world.
Every Kickstarter project is an opportunity to create the universe and culture you want to see. The games you wish you could play, the films you wish you could watch, the technology you wish someone was building — on Kickstarter, people work together to make those things a reality.
Take a look around: right this minute, thousands of people are funding their creative ideas. Feel like joining them?
