We’re delighted to announce that we’ve been asked to participate in the amazing, Creative-Commons<\/a> licenced movie project A Swarm Of Angels<\/a><\/em> as Soundtrack Producers.<\/p>\n

ASOA’s own site<\/a> sums it up best:<\/p>\n

“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.<\/em>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.<\/p>\n

We want to invent the future of film. Call it Cinema 2.0.<\/p>\n

<\/em>To do it we need your help.”<\/em><\/p>\n

And need your help they (and indeed, <\/strong>we), do. As summarised by advisor Cory Doctorow on Boing Boing<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“The Swarm of Angels project will produce a \u00c2\u00a31,000,000 picture funded by 50,000 “angels” who each donate \u00c2\u00a325 and participate in script-doctoring, pre- and post-production, and promotion for the film. The Angels are being invited in batches — first 100, now 1,000, next 5,000, 25,000 and 50,000. The 1,000 Swarm is still open, but filling up fast…”<\/em><\/p>\n

We think this is an amazing idea and an incredible opportunity, to put it mildly.<\/p>\n

The project is being masterminded by Matt<\/a> Hanson<\/a>, founder of One Dot Zero, filmmaker and author. Already on board is Grant Gee<\/a> (director of the Radiohead documentary “Meeting People Is Easy”, all-round music video genius<\/a> and most recently Director Of Photography on the soon-come documentary about Scott Walker “30 Century Man”), and alongside Cory Doctorow<\/a> as advisors are Tommy Pallotta<\/a> (Producer of “Waking Life” and the much anticipated “A Scanner Darkly”<\/a> ) and Warren Ellis<\/a> (comic writer, graphic artist and creator of “Transmetropolitan” and “Global Frequency”). More team members will be announced as the project develops.<\/p>\n

We think A Swarm Of Angels is a giant step towards a forward-thinking alternative system of movie production, and a mighty opportunity to show the combinable, combustible power of remix culture. And you can quote us on that.<\/p>\n

If this is something that tickles your synapses, come along for the ride<\/a>, it’s going to be a good one :)<\/p>\n

We’ll see you there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
