nerdology: The140Film - the movie the internet wrote I am happy to announce the start of the140film project.  What you see above is the first two lines of a movie that twitter will write one tweet at a time. When it’s all written Derek and I will produce exactly what is on the page… er… internet. Here’s how it works: Read the two current lines of the movie featured at the top of the page. Read submissions by other people in the stream of tweets on the page. Vote for the line you like best by retweeting any tweet or write your own and use #the140film. The first tweet to get 25 retweets will become the next line in the film and move to the featured spot at the top of the page. Once we reach 140 lines the movie will be written… and then Derek and I will start production. I’m really excited to see the movie you guys will write! Head on over to the site and start retweeting and writing. This is cool as hell. I will have watch this movie, built from a distributed screenplay.

The140Film - the movie the internet wrote

I am happy to announce the start of the140film project.  What you see above is the first two lines of a movie that twitter will write one tweet at a time. When it’s all written Derek and I will produce exactly what is on the page… er… internet.

Here’s how it works:

  • Read the two current lines of the movie featured at the top of the page.
  • Read submissions by other people in the stream of tweets on the page. Vote for the line you like best by retweeting any tweet or write your own and use #the140film. The first tweet to get 25 retweets will become the next line in the film and move to the featured spot at the top of the page.
  • Once we reach 140 lines the movie will be written… and then Derek and I will start production.

I’m really excited to see the movie you guys will write! Head on over to the site and start retweeting and writing.

This is cool as hell. I will have watch this movie, built from a distributed screenplay.
