Hi @steemfilm I've just upvoted and followed you. I think it is really cool you guys are trying to use Steemit this way to make a Feature. It's a great way to protect the copyright of the script and to establish the film as a living entity. ( @brian-rhodes , @dan-atstarlite, @jrcornel )

I'm trying to put together an open source proposal to turn the current film finance system around so that Film-Makers like yourselves could use an adaptation of Steemit to fund their films with much better tools for that purpose than are currently available in the interface.

Major Hollywood Distributors completely control current Film funding through the Distribution is Finance model; so the model I'm proposing instead is Production is Distribution (and therefore finance) which is the opposite and would be built on blockchain/open ledger technology (hopefully a future adaptation of Steemit). It's kind of an extension of what you are already doing here. Just with a dedicated interface.

If this system, or something similar existed today you could use it to fund your film at every stage without ever having to leave your Social Media platform.

If this is of interest to you could you take a look at the model I'm proposing. I'd really like some feedback from other film-makers, writers etc. on where the model falls apart and what changes could be made, or feel free to come up with your own variations of this idea!

I don't care about ownership of it. I just really would like to see a working model exist for my own reasons as a film-maker and before I go and find a coder and developer to help build it I'd love it if as many film-makers as possible could rip it apart to help identify the parts of the model that don't work or suggest alternatives.
