A Swarm of Angels
Encyclopedia : A : AS : ASW : A Swarm of Angels
A Swarm of Angels (ASOA) is a collaborative film project, whose aim is to make the world’s first Internet-funded, crewed and distributed feature film. The project aims to attract 50,000 individual investors (the "Swarm of Angels"), each contributing £25 to the production. This feature film and associated original media project embraces the Creative Commons notion of flexible copyright licencing, to permit people to freely download, share, and remix the original media made for the project.[link]
A Swarm of Angels is the brainchild of film producer and author Matt Hanson, founder of the onedotzero digital film festival. It would be the first time for a project of this scale to be funded, produced and distributed in this way.
The project was nominated for the May 2006 "Next Big Web Thing" award [link].
Advisors to A Swarm of Angels include science fiction author and copyright activist Cory Doctorow, graphic novelist Warren Ellis, pioneer digital film producer Tommy Pallotta, and musical Mash Up artist Eric Kleptone of The Kleptones. [link]
The Swarm of Angels is recruiting. People can have a say in the script development.
According to the official website, A Swarm of Angels is "likely to be thriller based with soft sci-fi elements."
