Indie filmmaker Michela Ledwidge is developing a short film, Sanctuary, to explore the potential for audiences to play with film as though it were a musical instrument.
She believes audiences should be able to ‘fiddle with film’ as though it were a musical instrument, using a games console or desktop computer to modify the movie as they watch it.
“Technology and online culture have changed the relationship between film-makers and their audience. Relationships are no longer one way. As a film-maker, performer and technical architect, I have always seen film as a two-way interactive experience,” she says.
Sanctuary is an experimental sci-fi short due for release early 2006. The project, now in post production, is both a pilot for an ambitious feature film and a world-first exploration of new production and distribution methods aimed at giving audiences greater value and empowerment.
Filmmakers interested in remixing Sanctuary can find out more about the project at the Mod Films site.
