If you want to do it, you figure out a way to do it. But trying to crowd fund it is silly IMHO. Might as well just stand on the side of a road holding a sign, because that's what you would be doing.
If you produce something good you can try to crowdfund as a way to get some of the money you spent back and help you fun whatever it may take to publish what you have produced.

A lot of people try to crowdfund trips like this and most fail because people feel like they are just paying for someone's vacation. Not to mention you need to be able to draw attention to your project in order to get it funded. Just putting it up on the site and hoping people will find it likely won't work.
