A Swarm Of Angels

As a fan of cinema, I often find myself frustrated at the model that big bland corporations adhere to when it comes to both film-making and distribution of media. Big budgets, bland actors and even duller scripts are endemic problems of big budget cinema. The exciting stuff usually happens in the indie realm of film making, where many a classic has been created on the budget of a Hollywood blockbuster's lunch bill.

One of the problems indie cinema often has is in raising funds to make the films. This has led to a number of creative methods of funding the films, which is where our next site comes in. A Swarm Of Angels has adapted a new web-based approach to film making, as well as embracing a number of brave initiatives in the world of media distribution. Writer and filmmaker Matt Hanson has started A Swarm Of Angels as collaborative web project, creative commons licensed and to be freely shared. The goal is simple - earn a million quid to finance the film and all subscribers to the swarm are able to take part in the creative process and get special offers as part of their £25 subscription fee. If the model works, it could be a welcome way of thumbing a nose at the big boys.
