- 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?
No. This project is a way for
independent filmmakers to pool their
resources together, not a means for
funding your film. Each filmmaker is
responsible for producing his/her own
segment. We encourage you to keep your
costs as low as possible.
- 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.
- 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/finish your own
segment. A central editor will assemble the segments into
a full feature.
If you have directed a narrative film
(short or feature) and are interested in
collaborating with directors from around
the globe, please read the
Project Description.
