Let’s Crowdsource an Open-Source Short Movie

Hey folks!

I’m an engineer with a passion for open-source (GitHub addict) and movies/filmmaking. To blend the two together I was looking for some open-source movies to watch and only found this results:

• Blender Open Movies
• This wikipedia list of open source movies

Both seem to be open-source in terms of transparency, like sharing the final assets etc. but did not crowdsource or collaborate at scale on the project.

This left me wondering if creating a fully open-collaboration short film—transparent and community-driven, where anyone can contribute ideas, art, code, or feedback is even possible.

Ideally the entire process is crowdsource, from brainstorming to post-production. Using tools like GitHub (for scripts/tracking), Blender (animation), and Discord (coordination), while Creative Commons licensing ensures openness.

The main challenges I see are:

• How do we democratize creative decisions?
• How to manage conflicting ideas or quality control?

There are probably much more...

Let me know if you are aware of any project that tried to tackle this experiment, if I am missing some huge constraints or limitations and especially if you are interested into dive deeper into this experiment together.
