LocateTV Blog

filmforay is much more than a blog, it’s a revolution. Although creator Linden Tibbets does indeed blog on the site, giving development updates as well as media news and music video picks, filmforay is really all about the community.

In this case, that community is a group of film makers and enthusiasts ‘laying siege to Hollywood’ by pitching their own film ideas to their peers, complete with visual mood boards and synopses. Members then rate and critique each idea and use the forums for discussion (earning ‘clout’ the more they participate), with the hope that a unique filmforay production will finally emerge from the mashup of creative minds.

It’s a stand-out example of the social web being used as a positive tool for collaboration and people power in a notoriously closed and profit-driven industry. What’s more, Linden was enthusiastic about becoming a private beta tester for LocateTV, giving some great feedback and declaring that:

Who kows, maybe LocateTV will help the fledging filmmakers to find the inspiration for their masterwork. We certainly agree with the democratic approach that respects and celebrates talent across the net, and it is something we’ve tried to stand by too.

So, if this blog were a film, what would it be? The Warriors.
