Be a Film Producer for $1

The 1 Second Film is a collaborative animation project that will literally be over before you can say, “One Mississippi.”
The film, which lasts one second and is followed by 90 minutes of credits and a “making of” documentary, is financed by donations from thousands of producers who can buy a credit for as little as $1. Anyone from Kevin Bacon to your mom will be listed as producer. Additionally, to fulfill every movie maven’s wet dream, each producer’s name will be posted on www.imdb.com.
The one-second animation is created with 12 giant frames that were painted simultaneously by hundreds of people during an all-night live music, free beer, carnival-style bender on International Women’s Day in 2001. What could a one-second film possibly be about? The film’s heart is certainly in its process, a bringing-together of thousands of people for one perfect moment, but you narrative junkies out there can expect to be treated to a one second excerpt of a woman’s orgasm.
Donors may select from the following options:
$1-$9.99 for Associate Producer
$10.00-$99.99 for Producer
$100.00 and up for Executive Producer
Proceeds from the film will be donated to the Global Fund for Woman.
The finished film will screen only once theatrically, and your name must appear in the credits to attend. So slide your hand between the couch cushions and buy a credit at www.the1secondfilm.com.
