What a Witch started on Facebook when filmmaker Michael Franklin created the group “Lets make a film”, asking anybody who was interested in the project to join the group.

What you see here came out of that group. This Open-Source Film is an example how Web 2.0 can gather people from across Europe to make a film without any budget.

With the Score of Ralf Hildenbeutel (www.ralfhildenbeutel.com) , Director Boris Seewald (www.borisseewald.de) created with Producer and DoP Michael Franklin an atmospheric emotion-related shortfilm.

The Project had its Premiere on the 25th of July 2009 at Leicester Square in London UK.
