- Who can participate?
Anyone who has completed a film (short
or feature) is welcome to apply. We
will choose the best of the applicants
to move on to the writing phase.
- Is there any funding?
You are responsible for producing and
editing your own segment. We will cover
all final post-production, marketing,
and overhead costs. We will coordinate
the writing and shooting process and
maintain the website. Each filmmaker
will also participate in promoting the
film and organizing screenings.
- Will I receive credit and profit
share?
Yes. All of the filmmakers who meet
the project requirements will share
writing and directing credit and will
receive a percentage of the profits, as well as
revenue from initial screenings that
are organized by the filmmaker in his
or her local area.
- Will this project make
money?
We will strive to make a sellable film
and will pursue all distribution
avenues. With multiple filmmakers, we
also have multiple promoters. If at the
very least, each director can locally
publicize and screen the film, it will
open in dozens of markets to an
international audience.
- With so many directors, will the
styles and looks be
inconsistent?
By nature, this concept calls for a
collision of directorial styles and
intentions. Rather than fight it, we
should embrace the variety. This will
be a non-traditional film and will
appeal to a more cutting-edge
audience.
- Without funding, will the
quality suffer?
As Hollywood has proven, money does
not equal quality. Talent, creativity
and time can create beautiful, engaging
and innovative images with limited
resources.
- What is the time frame for the
project?
Each project will have a different time
frame. We plan to begin writing the next
project in August, 2010.
- How much work is
involved?
During the writing phase, you will
pitch ideas and rewrite your script,
with regular due dates (every 5-7
days). When your script is finished and
approved, you will have at least one
month for casting and pre-production.
You will then produce a short
segment (1 - 10 minutes) and edit your own segment. A
central editor will assemble the
segments and finish the film.
If you have directed a narrative film
(short or feature) and are interested
in collaborating with directors from
around the globe, please read the
