My first thought was "Sheesh - what an organizational nightmare - especially with a group of often-sensitive artist-volunteers." But then one of you mentioned something about the press attention this might generate. One must admit that this is correct. A feature film produced by a group of strangers who have (mostly?) never met would attract huge media attention in the Entertainment, Technology as well as Business press - much more so than if a major studio or small indy group produced the same product. This leads to the conclusion that anything other than a lame piece of crap would instantly become a hot property. I'm associated with a film lab that may be helpful on the backend -transfer/print/duplicate & distribution. We're game! Just a thought but perhaps you writer-types might consider something with a seasonal/holiday twist. Granted, perhaps not as much fun as semi-naked-chain-mail-bikini-clad-space-warriors but also not as much hassle with traditional/cross-cultural story lines and, if you do get something with characters such as Thorne's cute holiday elves -- that does catch on -- it could run world-wide for 30 years! (Consider that Frosty/Burel Ives stop-motion-animation thing)
