If there is one thing about web 2.0 that you can say with certainty -- it will have an impact on just about every possible industry sector and profession. The question is. what industry is next and just how hard a hit will it feel?
If the folks at A Swarm of Angels have anything to say about it, Hollywood will be feel the punch of web 2.0 as it" flys like a butterfly and stings like a bee."
A Swarm of Angels bills itself as "remixing Hollywood"
A Swarm of Angels reinvents the Hollywood model of filmmaking to create cult cinema for the Internet era. It's all about making an artistic statement, making something you haven't seen before. Why are we doing this? Because we are tired of films that are made simply to please film executives, sell popcorn, or tie-in with fastfood licensing deals.
We want to invent the future of film. Call it Cinema 2.0.
To do it we need your help.
The concept is that 50,000 people will contribute 25 (its in British pounds and I have no idea where to find that symbol in Typepad) and in exchange people can download it, share it, use it as they want.
The idea is from writer and filmaker Mark Hanson who has
'directed a number of digital short films, produced over 40 short films, and two TV series. He also founded the massively influential onedotzero digital film festival which he directed between 1996 and 2002 (co-directing the 1998 festival onwards). He has written a series of books about the future of film–including The End of Celluloid: Film Futures in the Digital Age–and now he wants to invent that future by enlisting your help in making his first feature film in a completely unique way. Screen International have already labelled him an ‘International film visionary.’
