ThePactProject

You may or may not have heard of ThePact. But you will.

Eventually.

In a nutshell, the project is all about producing, shooting and funding a crowdsourced horrorfilm. Given the changes that the movie industry is struggling with, these guys may have bet their money (or rather, are asking you to bet them) on the right horse. With roots in the web-native remixculture, collective cunning of the net population and overall willingness to share media – this very much seems like a viable way to (at least in parts) produce a decent film that will neither screw the audience nor the team out of fun and earnings.
