In a stroke of inspiration, we decided to shoot the whole video using only cellphones for light. We also used live projection for the screen

During this week's brainstorming session, a little extra encouragement was needed. We found some.

The use of improv in script is awesome! Love Rapid Fire. I can bet that this will make me laugh. great ironic cell call. Is that Irony?

Great mission. IMO, you are ahead of your time. There needs to be more focus on the awesome stuff -- improv, art appreciation.

Great Genesis for a modern comedy with a little edge. Name dropping Guest and Leigh? I'm in baby!

As a filmmaker I'm both empowered and apprehensive about the effects of the digital age on film. Sometimes I'll even be watching a film and check emails, Facebook which seems sacrilegious. Anything that explores our A.D.D culture is of interest to me.

Love to chat about your thoughts - especially how incorporating social media into the viewing experience changes how we tell stories. Shane is a purist in most things, but we like to discuss how technology and mobile can help to engage people with our stories. Do fans want to be involved in content as it's delivered, help shape the concepts, or just interact as fans of the finished product. FB is the best place to chat!

I definitely go back and forth myself... If the audience becomes the creator, and everyone is producing... you have no one listening. Art in the bleakest sense -- cacophony. Feel free to add me up, last name Adams.

Nice presentation but I think the whole idea is kind of pretentious. Maybe I am missing the point. Good luck!

Fair enough - but this is just the catalyst for the actual film. Like any big project, the seed of an idea doesn't necessarily look like the fully formed end product. Stick with us, and I think you'll see that we don't take ourselves too seriously.

Very good, showing my age and warped mind, this reminds me a lot of The three Stooges, Abbot and Costello, and a few others - sorta what I would call slap stick humour. Well done Shane, you are a mad genius and I am happy to be related.

Good work AutoScript team. The inspiration for your project is very well stated in this mission. I also wonder if a computer written script was barfed up on the screen if people would pay to see it? ..... Although I've been to one or two movies that seem to have been barfed up by a computer... LOL

I'd like to see more about this project if only because I also wonder about the "barfing it up on the screen" aspect of media these days!

Thank you! Shane is an amazing talent. We are also are giving story credit to our cast. This collaborative story design process is keeping things fresh and reinforces our belief that the collective genius is more creative than the lone genius.
