Your Broadcaster - you in the director chair

If you have always wanted to be a film titan and you love team work, (that ole collaborator in you), Your Broadcaster puts you in the director chair. Your Broadcaster is a Web 2.0 project where everyone (like you) contributes material for 5 full length feature films in these genres: Bollywood, Thriller, Comedy, Drama, Horror.

Members' participation is primarily through the upload of scripts, auditions, characters, cartoons and stunts among others, which are voted on by other members. Uploads of the most successful member will be used as the basis for the final film.

If you don't want to collaborate on the film project, but still want to show your stuff, you can join Your Broadcaster for free and upload your content such as videos, photographs, audio or video mash-up. Currently, the upload limit is 2 MB per individual data, e.g., video, photo, etc. You still get to vote and you can create your own web page, blog to share, view or post information.

If you do want to collaborate on one or all of the films, the fee is $10 for each, or $35 for however many you want. If you so desire, there is a $10 copyright fee to protect your work.

It's interesting to see how the crowd sourcing trend is impacting our world. Who would have thought Joe Public might get a shot at Oscar night? We're not saying Your Broadcaster will garner that type of success. It could very well share the same fate as the Million Penguins wiki novel, an experiment to publish a crowd sourced novel.

How do you herd edit a million voices, plots, characters, sub-plots, in a novel? The same question might be asked of creating a film with a million directors. Whatever the outcome, you can be sure it will be um, extremely unique, possibly establishing a new film genre altogether.
