Filmmakers launch ‘buy a frame’ initiative
Julian Harvey and Enzo Tedeschi have launched the ‘135K project’ to raise funds for their film The Tunnel, which is set to be released online, worldwide, for free.
“The Tunnel is going to be the first time that we can tell that a movie has raised funds in this way, and then released the finished product back onto the Internet for free,” they said.
The website invites people to buy one frame of film – 1 frame=$1, 135,000 frames=90 minutes of The Tunnel; it has raised $1,000 on its first day.
“We believe that if we stop fighting the peer to peer networks, they could become the biggest revolution we have ever seen in the way we share entertainment and information,” the filmmakers said.
Thanks for the write-up, guys!
Our director’s name is Carlo, not Carlos 🙂
That Miguel…trying to make everyone a Mexican! 🙂
It’s one of those perception things; your eyes just complete the word before you finish reading it. Carlo=Carlos !
Thanks for the correction 🙂
Meanwhile in 48 hours, we are sailing past the 1000 frames sold mark, and the blogs are going nuts!
