Amazon has partnered with Warner Bros to launch Amazon Studios, which allows anyone to submit movie ideas for consideration.
I like the idea of creating a channel for budding writers/directors to submit work, but I’d love to see some more community involvement like crowdsourcing scripts, crowd funding or even community voting.
“Filmmakers can upload their movies at the Amazon Studios Web site. Movies must be full-length—at least 70 minutes—and be based on an original idea or a script submitted to Amazon. They don’t have to be full-scale, full-budget theatrical productions, so no expensive crane shots or Lucas-like special effects are required. Amazon Studios is currently showing five sample movies on its site to give people an idea of what they can submit.”
