thelot.com

Last night when I was idly browsing through channels (with eyes half closed) I bumped into this on Star World. ON THE LOT

This is a program which searches for talented film makers . Yes it is a kind of a contest. Similar to American Idol or Indian Idol and its version on various channels on Indian television

Now the contest goes like this.

First the award … The winner gets a million dollars to make a movie.. Sponsored by FOX and Verizon, this is interesting.
Now what you have to do is -- to make a movie of 1 minute yes 1 minute duration and the theme has to be laughter (at least for the one I saw the theme was laughter)
And then there are judges and there is voting ( but this time VOTING is free – a toll free number ;) unlike INDIA )


Go browse more and for me my date with this program is fixed …..

The site is really cool.. AND THE BONUS IS u can see some good movies absolutely free. I am game.. ha haa haaa haaaa

I am waiting when this hits INDIA and someone starts something on these lines for Indian TV..

Hi anonymous,

I do agree that anyone from anywhere can come and submit their films. I am waiting when something gets started for Indian TV for Bollywood. :)
