These days though it's all about 'guerilla film making' and democratisation, which is why the next feature you see from writer/director Nick Love could partly be financed by you.

At some point the man behind Football Factory and The Business must have decided that instead of going cap in hand to the fatcats for his next film, Outlaw, he was going to appeal directly to the man on the street. A bit like when strapped football clubs ask the fans to buy their very own patch of turf or a brick from the men's toilets.

As a result, for a donation of between £10 and £100 via Outlaw's website, you could land an Executive Producer credit, a part as an extra in the film, invites to exclusive screenings and... erm, a t-shirt.

Just don't expect to be able to walk on set, point your cigar at the leading man and shout "You'll never work in this town again kid". We're pretty sure you won't even get the t-shirt if you do that.
