Our objective is to connect moviemakers with the talent, equipment and resources to realize their creative vision. You cannot make a movie by yourself and the most important aspect of this site is to help you collaborate with other moviemakers.

Hollywood has traditionally been a system where you have to know someone to get a job. This is not necessarily a bad thing - reputation is important and the wrong person can bring an entire production down. The problem is that Hollywood has developed in such a way that people are given opportunities not based on merit but rather based on who they know or who their parents are. We welcome the unknown individual to show their talent in a system that is merit and reputation based.

YouTube is a ground-breaking website and a fantastic tool, which is why we use it. However, there are mountains and mountains of irrelevant content. We glean out the irrelevant and low quality movies to show you the best from independent filmmakers in your area.
How is this different from IMDB?

IMDB is a valuable resource for moviewatchers but not for moviemakers. In order to collaborate with other moviemakers, you need to be able to see their work and contact them. You can do both here. It also helps that you don't have to wait for months for an editor to approve your profile/movie (that is, if they ever approve or even respond to your request).
Not an anonymous system.

This system is built on credibility, merit and reputation. Users should be proud of their work and willing to stand behind their words. Think Facebook instead of MySpace.

We know that last thing you want is more spam. We work very hard to keep spammers out. That's why we have limited account approvals in this beta stage while we put spam safeguards in place. The more users we have, the more difficult it is to control spam so we are limiting accounts at this stage.
Privacy is of paramount importance.

We'd love to make this available for free. We are broke filmmakers ourselves so we know that the vast majority are riding the starving artist wagon. However, it is not possible to offer a quality service for free. We are not charging for membership in the Beta of the site and we do not ask for credit card information but there will be a nominal charge for this service.
