NESTA suggestions:
"Tell us why your idea is worth backing and what might make it attractive to NESTA. You should include 3 to 5 key points addressing issues such as why your idea works so well, why it is novel and original and the key strengths of the individuals or the team working on the project. We would suggest that you make this the last question you complete before submitting the form. This will mean that you are able to summarise the key points of your proposal."
Film sampling will one day be as common as music sampling. Film audiences will be able to play with film as easily as they would play a musical instrument or play with recorded music.
This project is based on the observation that technology and online culture have irrevocably changed the relationship between film-makers and their audience. Relationships are no longer purely one-way. With a background as film-maker, performer and technical architect, I have a vision of film as a two-way interactive experience. The proposal is for NESTA to fund the development of a short film to test the waters for a feature-length interactive idea.
Sampling culture is evolving quickly, especially online. With the consent of film-makers, audiences can have unprecedented freedom to create new relationships to a story, personal relationships, less hampered by intellectual property rights. Story-telling is all about making connections so this is an exciting development for us all.
