A Swarm of Angels - Registration reopens for next phase of open source movie project
Hey There!
Wanna become part of a 'revolutionary' filmmaking wave?
I'm sure by now you've all heard of Matt Hanson's A Swarm of Angels project... In the past year it has created quite the buzz (see Boing Boing, Forbes.com, Slashdot, Springwise, Screen International, Business Week, Assignment Zero/Wired, Torrentfreak, .net, Adobe Think Tank, Screenhead, Urban Junkies, Wikinews, etc.) as the groundbreaking film event that aims to create a a £1M ($2M) open source feature film using a global community of members. Once the project is completed, it will be available for downloading and remixing under a Creative Commons license.
We've been chatting with Matt and he says they're gearing up to re-open public registration for Phase 3. For details read on, then join up, get involved on their forum, invite your friends and blog forth to spread the word! Here are even a few keywords that may help :) - S

______________________________________
A Swarm of Angels has opened pre-registrations for the next phase of our groundbreaking project to create a £1M ($2M) open source feature film using a global community of members. Members get to participate in making the film.
We are about to enter Phase 3 of 5 (at the end of these phases we give away for download, a DRM-free, Creative-Commons licensed film, that anybody can share and remix), and our global member community of over 1000 have already created a trailer, music, poster images, and contributed to 2 scripts (one of which the community get to greenlight when we reach 25,000 members).
We have reopened registration again after it closed once we reached our 1000 member target at the end of the last phase. Our next target is 5000 members, and the phase involves finishing our scripts, and creating teaser trailers and media.
