Millionth Monkey

They say give a million monkeys a typewriter and one will come up with the works of Shakespeare, but what if you gave them a movie camera? Would we get the next Tarantino? Could YOU be the Millionth Monkey? Filmmakers (D-Media) and Film Fans (Close-Up Film) have come together to challenge our perceptions of how great movie ideas are born. Start with an idea, a character, a place, a plot, a sketch. Post it on the website. Tell your Facebook friends, Tweet family, and anyone else you can reach, to see if they are intrigued enough to come and have a look. Get them involved, sharing ideas, passing comments, or just having a look. Add to, alter and develop your movie pitch and see how many people you can get wanting to see it on the big screen. The more interest you get the higher you move up the leader board. Ultimately, the movie concept with the most fans wins. Running over three months, from 6th December 2011, entrants first build up support for their movie concept. Voting opens on 1st February 2012 and no new projects can be submitted to the site. Voters can vote for as many of the pitches as they like, but only once for each idea. The leader board will show the top ten projects each week.
