With the growing popularity of crowd-funding website Kickstarter,the public no longer have to be fed only by what the Hollywood bigwigs want them to see. Even aspiring filmmakers no longer need to wait around for studios to give the means to produce a film.

There was a time that producers, directors and writers fight daily with the studios to get their projects made. But Kickstarter has given the entertainment industry another option to fund movies and the like.

"Backers," as they are called, donate money for a certain project and then also asks their friends to support the project.

But even though Kickstarter provides a powerful platform for any artist to challenge what Hollywood studios want and bring, many people argue that the site is losing its credibility by allowing celebrities who actually have money ask the public for money.

In 2010, actress Lake Bell ran a Kickstarter campaign asking for $8,000 in order to complete a short film.

Today we can see several industry veterans to request for much more.

Rob Thomas, the "Veronica Mars" producer, raised a record-breaking $5.7 million to make a movie version based on the hit television show.

Meanwhile, Zach Braff generated $3.1 million for the sequel to "Garden State" flick, "Wish I Was Here," claiming that the film needed fan funding for it to be a smaller, personal film.

Braff defended his decision to ask the fans for money, insisting that he also intends to use his own money as well. He also commented that a lot of people have misconceptions about how much money he actually has.

But is it still fair that celebrities now use Kickstarter for their own benefit? What about the other aspiring filmmakers which were the target of the site to begin with?
