million-dollar-movie

Canadian director Casey Walker was probably inspired from the 1 second film and the Million Dollar Homepage and started a project in which anyone can buy for $10 a frame with a 0,04 second duration from the movie he is making. This project is called My million dollar movie.

By purchasing a specific frame from the movie you do not have the authority to interfere with it changing the movies lot but in essence you are actually funding the film and at the same time invest in it. Your name will appear in the movie credits in the end and the more frames you buy the higher in the list your name will be. If you actually buy over 5,000 frames your name will go in the beginning as executive producer.

I think the best part is that of the investment. Whom ever buys frames will share 50% of the movie’s profits. For instance if you buy only one frame then you will get half from the 1/144,000 (This is how many frames are in the movie) :). Finally whom ever buys a frame can put on the projects webpage a message, an image or even a video (ie from Youtube)

This time I think that the idea has gone far beyond what we have already seen so far with peoples attempts to make money. Some even say that this maybe a future way to fund movies. You believe in an actor, director and if your gut feeling tells you its ok then you might make something out of it :)

Till now over 17,000 frames have been sold so you have plenty of time to think about it :)

    For the Record, I hadn’t heard of the 1 Second Film until about 6 months after we launched the Beta Site. I do think it is a great project though and wish them all the best on their Road to Oprah.

    Thanks for the support.

    Cheers
    Casey
