FAQ

How can a complete film be made through this website?

The process through which Lets Film will build its first commercial community film can be defined as follows:

1

Talented individuals with a passion for films and filmmaking log on to LetsFilm.com from all across the world to create their profiles and upload their demo reels, audios and portfolio, showcasing their talent on Lets Film

2

Talented individuals with a passion for writing and screenplay work together to build the script using a collaboration tool setup on LetsFilm.com

3

A jury decides the casting once the script is ready, and online auditions are held

4

Selected members are called for the shoot, and the production of the movie begins!

How will the script writing process work?

The script will be written entirely by people volunteering from all across the globe with a passion for writing. Lets Film has setup an online collaboration tool that will allow virtually any number of writers from across the world to work on the same script. An expert panel consisting of leading script writers will take ongoing decisions on which contributions / suggestions should be accepted / rejected. As a result, new versions of the script will be posted on the site after every release has been approved by the panel. Active writers can update their scripts with the latest accepted versions through the collaboration tool available.

How do i use the Wiki tool to edit the script and add my inputs to it?

By using the easy Wiki tool provided on the Lets Film site, filmers can easily edit the film script "without" requiring any technical knowledge. All you need to do is click "edit" and begin snipping away at the script. It doesn't get any easier than that!

How does the Wiki work? What happens if someone decides to delete/overwrite valuable content/inputs written by someone else?

When a filmer submits an edit made to any particular page of the script, it is recorded in the Wiki database. However, previous versions of the page are "never" deleted. Therefore, the Wiki allows easy reverts in case of vandalism or spamming, or in case the jury decides that new revisions submitted are not up to the mark.

How will the remaining artistes be selected?

Every individual, based on his interest can create a unique profile, clearly mentioning his/her area of interest and how he/she would be an asset to the Lets Film project. Once the script reaches a mature stage, the best profiles will be selected by a panel for an audition. The ones who make it past the audition stage will be selected to play a role – be it acting, direction, composing, singing, set design, recording, etc.

How will the film be released?

The film will be released under the Creative Commons license, as a free download from the Lets Film website. You are also free to copy and distribute the film to as many people as you want, without worrying about piracy— but for “non-commercial” purposes only. You will not be permitted to either sell or publicly display the film for profit, which is a right retained only by Lets Film.
