A WORD FROM OUR LEADER
Cheers Luke and thanks to everyone else who has put in time and effort over the last six months. This next week in particular is crucial. We’re attempting something that is a world first and this can never be taken away no matter what difficulties are ahead. This is not just a short film and we’re not just a film crew – this is an online community project of which you are the active members to-date. Respect... .M.
THE FINAL ROUND
Today was D-Day, the day the Media Entertainment Arts Alliance Board decided what they were going to do, or not do, for Sanctuary. "I don't know what it's like to be punched in the guts but today was a little like that I imagine.." explains Michela. For a full account of the Board's response go here:

WEB TV FOR NERDS
Robert X. Cringely, author of the best-selling book 'Accidental Empires: How the Boys of Silicon Valley Make Their Millions' is about to embark in an Open Source television program called 'NerdsTV.' It will be available on the web and playable on pretty much any system in three different video formats: one geared at techies, one for suits, and one with all the raw footage so you can edit your own version to your heart's content. There will also be audio-only versions in Ogg and Mp3. All of this is freely redistributable of course!
