Here is a concept, combining film making with a million dollar - actually UK pounds opportunity! Matt Hanson, a filmmaker from the UK, has come up with the idea of mixing "crowdsourcing" with film making in a move that some call "cinema 2.0."
A Swarm of Angels is a collaborative film project that not only raises its funds via its "Angel" investors, but also relies on them as the movie's collaborators and distributors. A subscription fee of BPS 25/US $50 makes you an Angel. Never knew that's all it took! Anyway, as an Angel you will have a say in various parts of the process from script to screen, and in some cases you could even will become a crew or cast member. Talking about working for your own money....
This is how it's meant to work. Hanson already created two rough outlines for scripts. The community is to flesh out the concepts and vote on which ones to develop into a full script. Once the script is finished, the collaboration will continue through various phases of pre-actual-post production. When the film is completed, this "swarm of Angels" will assist in distributing the movie via the internet, using peer-to-peer networks, and other forms of internet delivery. I say Hanson is one smart fellow if he can pull it off. Looks like he is - as of today, May 20, there are over 900 Angels according to his website.
Don't want to be left out? Swarm away here.
