A&E, Reality Crowd Funding TV to film at One Spark festival

A crowd-funding enthusiast from Connecticut heads one of two groups interested in capturing the events of the upcoming One Spark festival on film.

Manolis Sfinarolakis, who is also a creator at the event, said he is making One Spark a reality television show. He said he will film a documentary-style reality show at The Landing during One Spark.

His One Spark project, Reality Crowd Funding T.V., is a web-based show that airs on http://www.RealityCrowdTV.com. Anyone who visits his projects display has the chance of being on the show.

But Sfinarolakis isnt the only reality television show being filmed at One Spark.

A&E has also committed to filming at the festival. Brian Meece, the cofounder and CEO of the crowdfunding website Rocket Hub, said an A&E film crew will accompany him at One Spark for a reality T.V. show on crowdfunding.

When I met with the A&E team, we hit it off personally, and they recognized our expertise in crowd funding, Meece said. We are excited about marrying our bottom up model in crowd funding to A&Es experience with rallying around projects and the top down model of broadcasting in traditional media.

Rocket Hub is a company that has helped thousands of artists, scientists, entrepreneurs and social leaders raise money through crowd funding. Meese said Its partnership with A&E has helped Rocket Hub gain its clients a large audience and millions in funding.

As opposed to the A&E show, Sfinarolakis project is in its infancy. From the New York area, Sfinarolakis has a Go Pro Camera with him at all times and is prepared to capture as many creator and spectator journeys at One Spark as possible.

Were trying to inform mainstream Americans that crowd funding exists, and its not just reserved for tech companies, Sfinarolakis said. By supporting Reality Crowd Funding T.V., you bring awareness to crowd funding, and youre helping people achieve their dreams who may have been declined by a bank.

Sfinarolakis said if he wins at One Spark, the funding he receives will help him go into the North End of Hartford, Conn., which is one of the most impoverished areas in the state and record reality. He said visible disparity will reach the hearts of Americans and compel them to act.

Triathlete Tom Stead hopes crowd funding website can further his career

Seventeen-year-old triathlete Tom Stead has turned to the crowd-funding website Talent Backer to help fund his burgeoning career in the fast growing sport.

To send a link to this page to a friend, you must be logged in.

Stead, who lives in Staploe, is one of the countrys hottest prospects in the triathlon, as well as the duathlon, aquathlon and quadrathlon, and he has been invited to perform for Great Britain at the World and European Championships at races in the Netherlands, Spain, Austria and Canada this year.

My sport in general is very expensive, Stead told The Hunts Post. The addition of competing for GB on the world stage ups the ante. I have been given some fantastic support behind the scenes with coaching, sports therapy, nutrition and the like. But it surprises many that there is no funding whatsoever that I can get my hands on. Funding is all down to me.

Stead, who is studying outdoor adventures at Shuttleworth College in Biggleswade, will move to the University of Bedfordshire in September where he will study sports science and exercise practise.

He continued: I took up multi sport events four years ago. I am a member of the triathlon club NiceTri of St Neots and a recent team member of the race team Corley Cycles who are based in Milton Keynes.

If I was to choose two stand out events from last year they would be the ETU European Triathlon Championships in Alanya, Turkey, and the ITU World Championships held at Hyde Park in London. The highlight of London was having the fastest bike split out of all 1,845 competitors.

This year is packed full of events. I have a very full race diary and dotted in among these are hopefully trips to the World and European championships in the Netherlands, Spain, Austria and Canada. You have to qualify for all these events, you cant just rock up.
