Can the wisdom of the masses make a movie?

Simon Dumville

Simon Dumville, creator of yourbroadcaster.com would like to know.

YourBroadcaster is...

...a unique Social Networking talent search and collaboration project to create five real movies: - Bollywood, Thiller, Drama, Comedy & Horror.

As a YourBroadcaster 'Movie Making' member it is your job to help devise a sequence of images, videos, audio and scenes that will generate a voting response from the visting web audience.

Members and viewers will vote for their favourite uploads including Movie Titles, Scripts, Characters, Directors, Special Effects, Stunts, Auditions, and much more.

If your ideas get votes, you get prizes.

This will be an interesting experiment. I would guess that the subtle and orginal choices will not get as many votes as the average movie cliche. Plus people with too much time on their hands will no doubt try to rig the voting. But perhaps the wisdom of the masses will elect a watchable movie. I'd certainly go see a movie written and directed by the snarky AICN talkbackers.

Armchair filmmakers vs. the real deal. USSR vs. USA. It's going to be a cold war showdown.
