Calling all Movie
Fanatics -
Contribute to an
Open Source Film
Dear Audience,
To all of my
subscribers, fans,
friends, family, and
anyone who’s ever
e-mailed me in
search of
assistance, I'm
asking you for help
with my most
ambitious project to
date.
Open Source Films, a
nonprofit
corporation, is
moving into
production on its’
first film, a
science fiction
movie entitled
"Jathia's Wager" and
I (Solomon Rothman -
Filmmaker) am
looking to the
community of movie
lovers from around
the world to help
with the
production.
The idea is to
create an ‘open
source movie’,
where people from
all over the world
come together and
contribute to the
creation of film.
Below you can read
about what we’re
doing and how you
can contribute, but
first, the log line
from the initial
script:
Jathia’s Wager is
a science fiction
story about a young
man living in an
isolated community
of humans, who must
make a life changing
decision about his
future and his
species.

It's already been
blogged about in
AMC's Sci-Fi
Scanner, multiple
magazines, and by
fest21's editor
Bruno, Chatelin
(Former Marketing
and Managing
Director for
Columbia TriStar
Films and Twentieth
Century FOX) to name
a few. Millions of
people are going to
see this movie when
it's completed and
it's one of the
first ventures into
collaborative
filmmaking.
There is way too
much information to
cram in this e-mail,
so if you're even a
tiny bit interested
please visit
