Open Source Idea

The idea started after reading the Workbook project web page and newsletter., there I have read story after story and heard media creates who I have great respect for talk about how SHARING and working TOGETHER makes better end products.
And that joint efforts just makes sense. Further reading of the workbook project newsletter talks about why a media maker need to share more accurate financial information to those one is looking for to investment.
(Sidebar have a real web page My Space/Facebook does not count.)

This is a part of the process of Open Source INFORMATION is key. Small indy film has many roadblocks belive it or not open information removes same.

So a project I am working that will go public very soon will create a media project that will allow interested parties investors or not access to as much information as we can . Mind you some actors and crew do not want their wages known and we understand this.

What will you be able to get
budget information
shot information
Story Boards
how we are able to get the equipment etc.

The business plan as written.
Accounting information Other then steps needed to protect from ID theft etc.
our ideas for creating the universe that everyone will be able join via your own media work.
Yes our project will form the "rules" Good Guys bad guys shade of gray guys why they interact etc and if want to do something with it go for it.

Again crew and cast pay information will be off limits as well some companies doing product placement may not want to share that information we understand.
Yes my goal is that anyone on line can see how we are doing. Trust is made by information.


This project will be distributed by our self's we are TIRED of being ripped off and abused by distubters not looking to make money (we all have kin to feed) but to rip us off. Just this morning I heard a story about someone who paid a distribution company $5,000 up front then 50% AFTER marketing expenses!! (of corse there is nothing written about how much that is)
So we are planing to use WEB 2.0 to make distribution as easy and inexpensive as possible.
We have the power! We will use the power!
The New Now is here!!!
