I see the kickstartr model as something very similar to this, and it has worked well for people without any Hollywood backing or outside advertising.

James Rolfe (the angry video game nerd) has raised over $180,000 for his movie http://www.indiegogo.com/Angry-Video-Game-Nerd-The-Movie

Jason Scott raised over $100,000 http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/textfiles/the-jason-scot...

Even though these projects will probably only break even, these are no small sums of money that people who have never been on broadcast TV are raising.
