Vanity Fair and Discovery Channel Partner to Revisit Barry Winchell Story

Tomorrow I will be interviewed by Vanity Fair Magazine for a Discovery Channel documentary program, along with Barry Winchell’s parents, as a followup to their now almost 15 year old article on the murder. That night I will be filmed for inclusion in a Library of Congress project on my own military service, as part of a project featuring several veterans.

I refused to participate in the new story about Barry several times, but was finally persuaded after learning of his parent’s participation. I think some people assume that my entire life is about the events behind the movie “Soldier’s Girl” and that I talk about it all the time… I actually don’t. People bring it up to *me* all the time, which I understand because they feel a great deal of empathy and emotion after seeing the story. Some people also assume that I have made tons of money from the film or the story. I have my letters in writing refusing payment for the film, though eventually I was persuaded to accept some compensation which allowed me to transition more fully into the woman he saw me as. I have been a reluctant participant in the story at every step, but when I do participate it is because I have a chance to either honor Barry’s memory or help move things forward for the community. The day I was brought to the network to talk about the interview, I had to go straight home to bed and sleep until the next day. I hope it will be worth it to rehash everything again.

On the other hand, I am looking forward to the Library of Congress project. It feels good to talk about my brief four years serving in the pre- and post-DADT military during the first Gulf War. Adventure and youth and self discovery and dealing with draconian oppression all make for interesting storytelling. This is going to be a rollercoaster of a weekend. Thank goodness I have my boyfriend, my friends, and a job singing and making people laugh to occupy my mind this weekend.

This isn’t a beg for sympathy. I just wanted to share this as a little preparation because I may actually be talking about these things a little bit in the coming weeks, which I do not do very often.

Crowdfunding as a Native Advertising Channel

Another post about a talk at RDV_MARKETING from the guys from Alexandre Boucherot from ulule.com. Ulule is a crowdfunding platform that has been available to Canadians for about a year.

Types of Crowfunding

There are three types. The first is the standard type like Kickstarter, Users give you money in exchange for perks. The next offers equity. That means that users get a cut of your profits. The last is where users lend you money for your products which you will need to pay back.

Why Use Crowfunding

Crowdsourcing allows you to create or expand your current community. It isn’t because crowdsourcing expands your reach that it create a community. It is because it allows user to get a more behind the scenes look at product development.

It is also a great way to test interest in your product. If there is no interest in your product, it just won’t get funding. For example, test new products that wouldn’t be created unless there was a extremely high demand like a product developed in the lab that will only be launched if there are enough pre-orders. It’s also a great way to get feedback from early adopters fast.

Advertising Using Crowdfunding

As a brand, you can also sponsor projects that make sense. In a similar way as the previous post about influencers, it’s possible to take advantage of high engagement of a project’s investors to reach a new group of peoples.

For example, the National Bank of project has a profile of Ulule where they showcase the type of projects they like to invest in. Heineken and Nissan have also allied with Ulule to find entrepreneur-influencers.

FYI, this presentation was super crappy. Not only was the color scheme really hard to read on the PowerPoint, but it sounded much more like a sales pitch for their platform. I really hope they fire the designer who did the PowerPoint template. Who in their right mind thinks that blue writing on an orange background is aesthetically pleasing.
