2012年，影意志以及重慶民間映畫在一同首次開展了「華人民間電影集資計劃」。鼓勵民眾直接以捐款支持，成為聯合制片人，將製作決定從商業霸權中重奪，同時參與創作，與參與計劃的導演在面書上進行創作交流，從而凝聚一眾渴望為本地影像、為社會帶來變更的創作人和觀眾。計劃籌款工作順利完成，香港共有一百二十四位聯合製片人，三條短片共籌得港幣十萬四千二百零五元。重慶共有一百四十八位聯合製片人，獲得資助共計人民幣二萬九千七百九十元。六位導演的短片作品於在本屆香港獨立電影節延伸活動加場放映。

In 2012, Ying E Chi and Chongqing Independent Film and Video Festival (CIFVF) carry out the “Chinese Independent Filmmaking Fundraising Project (CIFFP)” in together for the first time. CIFFP encourage people to support by direct donations and become a co-producer, which regain the film-making decision from the commercial hegemony.

At the same time, co-producers participate in the creation of film by exchanging idea in facebook with the directors of the program, thereby unite a public which desire for local film and bring about the change for the community, audience and artists.

The fundraising projects have been successfully completed: There are 124 co-producers in Hong Kong and the donation amount is 104,205 HK dollars in total; there are 148 co-producers in Mainland China, and the donation amount is 29,790.5 RMB dollars. The shorts directed by the six directors will be screened.
