Open Source Cinema -- No Kidding
,----[ Quote ]
| But has anyone ever started by open sourcing their film with the
| intent of putting out the remix as the final product? A quick
| Google search lead to some kids at NYU who encouraged people to
| take the blessed geek trilogies and remix them into 5-8 minute
| short parodies, but better still I found Open Source Cinema.

User-generated content could do to films (as we know them) the same thing
that Free software does to proprietary software vendors. One can tailor a
film to an audience and make distribution much cheaper.
