Cinema 2.0

A Swarm of Angels
is an ambitious new project that’s taking aim at the traditional Hollywood approach to making blockbusters and giving it a web 2.0 makeover.

The project is attempting to create a film in an entirely new way.

We are gathering 50,000 people in a giant new media experiment to be part of an exclusive community which funds and helps make this film. We want people to freely download, share and remix the feature film and all original media made for this project and have embraced the flexible digital-age copyright of Creative Commons toward this end.

After paying £25 to join, participants are allowed to vote on major decisions in the film, contribute to the actual development and production of the film through open source technologies, and are encouraged to share and sample portions of the film for their own outside work.
