What a Witch is actually not a Low-Budget Movie, its more a No-Budget Movie. Every member of the crew paid Thirty Pounds. That’s it.

It is from this, that we are creating this shortmovie. This movie is the result of busy people volunteering the little free time they have in order to make this movie a success.

But the vision is big. Besides a premiere, there shall be a DVD distribution of the film. It is a lot of work and as is always the case for low-budget films, lack of finance influences how good its distribution will be. Successfull distribution is vital if we want to continue with projects similar to this.

To make that happen, we have to invest a lot in promotion (e.g. this website) in order to receive recognition in the big field of the film industry.

For its first big step, whatawitch.com will be presented on the Visionale in Frankfurt, a filmfestival in Germany. This years focus of the Visionale is on the aspect of Films including Web 2.0.

What a Witch started on Facebook, when  filmmaker Michael Franklin created the group “Let’s make a film”, asking anybody who was interested in the project to join the group. What you have seen so far, came out of that. What a Witch is an example how Web 2.0 can be used for film.

This saturday, the ’story so far’ of this project will be presented. Possible investors will be aboard along with a big audience.

When this movie will finally be released, the hope is not only that the movie satisfies its audience, but also that its level of awareness will be strong enough to ensure that its distribution is a great success.
