OpenFilm, which has recently opened its beta to the public, is forging a new video community featuring top quality, premium content. It has both a video library and a suite of social networking tools allowing young film makers and artists to connect and collaborate. The site has also developed its own web video series; however, OpenFilm is targeting new content creators through partnerships with film schools and festivals. Contributors are to get a clean 50% cut of all ad revenue earned. Currently, film makers can pre-register and submit any original work be it live action or animation. Each selection is screened by the OpenFilm board members and once approved, they’ll be shown on a large custom video player. Submissions maybe sent in via mail, or uploaded to the site—there is no time limit.

| Why it might be a killer | |||
|
|
|
OpenFilm is exclusive; it’s not another Youtube. Rather, it offers young film makers a platform to showcase their work and to break into the business. As videos are each screened and selected by the OpenFilm staff, quality is assured. It looks like OpenFilm could become a hub for new video talent.

| Some questions | |||
|
|
|
How are films selected—what’s the criteria? How can none film makers join the site? Will ads be inserted into user generated videos?

| Andy, they seemed to cancel sign-up form. I've tried lots of videos being unregistered . Obviously, you need to create your account to submit content or interact with others. | ||

| Probably not a good Idea to force users to signup just to try out your project... I know I for one won't bother filling out your form.. | ||
