MyMovieStudio uses crowdsourcing to develop, finance, and produce feature films. Users post original ideas that they want to see up on the big screen, and users decide as a group (by awarding Green Lights, or votes) which of their ideas should be made into movies.
We’re now putting out a call for entries in the form of movie pitches. No preference is given to movie pitches accompanied by great poster art but we have a strong feeling that pitches supported by great promotional art will win the member-judged pitch contest. Hence this posting on Bustler!
When the user base reaches critical mass, we plan to form an investment vehicle and issue $100 shares for sale to members. We hope to raise $6 million (60,000 shares at $100 each) to finance three $2 million films selected by the membership. When the films are financed, the three winning Movie Pitch authors will receive $25,000, sole STORY BY credit on the screenplays and movies based on their ideas, and trips to their own red carpet premieres.
The idea grew out of our observation that almost everyone is displeased with what’s available at the multiplex, but putting together your own movie as an independent writer, director, or producer is nearly impossible. MyMovieStudio represents a way for thousands of people on an individual level to have films they can call their own (quite literally the shares represent actual equity stakes in the slate of films, so when the films make money, the investors make money).
We’re just getting started. Early entries have an advantage in that they have more time to collect Green Lights. Submission is free, and no investment is required in order to award Green Lights or participate in the pitch contest.

Thanks and good luck!
