ABOUT
The internet has was designed to be an open platform where anyone can create a website and any information can pass through a connection. If big business starts to be selective about what can pass through it will be like when the FCC cracked down on early radio expression and it wasn’t long before only commercial radio existed. The internet needs to stay neutral and not give certain files preference. A 10 minute version of this feature length documentary has circulated over th ... (read more)

HOW THESE FUNDS WILL BE USED
One third will be used for a professional editor. One third will be used to buy an HVX-200 and some portable hard drives to travel to some key speakers to film high quality interviews. These will replace low res clips we found online. We'll still use a lot of clips from the internet but will also have an assistant get permission and higher resolution copies of all the footage that was sampled. The last one third will be spent on a software programmer to innovate collaborative editing on the internet. We'll use some brand new tools I've designed that will allow thousands of people to take notes and highlight thousands of hours of footage that no one individual could ever look at. Then the master editor will utilize this collective knowledge as he works closely with myself to edit the final documentary. At the end any tools or workflow we develop will be posted as open source software free for all to use. So think about how FireFox which is open source came in and did a much better job then Microsoft Explorer. Well I think that video editing could be done much better if it was built as open source software and I see these tools for this documentary as the beginning of that.

Are you going to turn on the fundraising?

Isn’t 150,000 a huge sum to start hoping for? If you don’t make it on time, you don’t get any of it. I would hate to see you not get at least of chunk of funding; maybe do it more in increments? But who knows…maybe this IndieGoGo can supply that type of money.

Good luck finding an editor. This looks like an interesting project.

I want to help with this – I don’t know in what capacity… but this is an important topic, and a timely one too. I’d love to be a part of it.
