Amazon Launches Online Movie Studio 68
angry tapir writes "Amazon.com is getting into the movie business by opening Amazon Studios, with the goal of using the Internet to put fresh movies on the big screen. The new Internet movie studio will allow writers to upload screenplays to its website where the global Internet audience can read them and offer feedback, or producers/directors can use them to make test movies. The test movies, which must be at least 70 minutes in length, can also be uploaded."

http://www.piratemyfilm.com/pages/how_it_works [piratemyfilm.com] shows how funding could work..
"The system automatically creates enough shares to match the funds request and then makes those shares available for PMF members to reserve."
Why just read and offer feedback when you could support a work from day one and perhaps share in some value.
Great funding for a tech movie, drama, historical documentary, extreme sports, romance, cars ect.
Get a forum or core supporters on any topic. No need for some grant, arts council or one person funding.
