The Hollywood Experiment

Here's a clever idea—give new, fresh film directors a chance to break into Hollywood by grafting the principles behind "open source" programming onto filmmaking:


The Hollywood Experiment

Objective: To break every Hollywood convention

Description: Quite simply, we want to make a movie using the talents and creativity of actors, directors, and crew from all over the world. Is it possible to make a movie without ever meeting anyone? We want to find out.

So, how do you fit in?

Zone15 Studios is giving you the opportunity to be a part of an opensource film bound for Sundance and Cannes. You write the script, design the set, direct the actors, and film the scene. That's right, the movie is yours! We show you how the last scene ended, and you take it from there.

Every two weeks, Zone15 Studios will call for the next scene in their revolutionary new film--The Hollywood Experiment. The call will be posted on www.craigslist.org and www.TheHollywoodExperiment.com . Applicants will have two weeks to create and submit their original scene (see official rules). The producers will select one scene from each call as the winning entry. Winners will be notified by email and on our site www.TheHollywoodExperiment.com. The winning entry will then be posted at www.TheHollywoodExperiment.com along with the call for the next scene.

When all the scenes have been selected, the Producers at Zone15 Studios will create and publish the final film. Remember, this movie is headed for the biggest film festivals in the world! So be creative, inventive, funny, dramatic, professional, and daring. Only the very best scenes will be chosen.

Good luck, and don't be afraid to take a risk!
