I blogged about Jonathan Krimer’s Writers & Filmmakers a year ago and now it looks like the short film competition is about to be launched.

The funding model is a crowd-sourced meritocracy: online writers select a worthy filmmaker and similarly online filmmakers select the most engaging scripts. Entry fees pay the winners for the script and to make the film.

My take: if you haven’t entered and paid yet, do it now! I will publish numbers next week — all I can say today is that there are twice as many writers as filmmakers signed up. And your odds are much, much better than originally planned.
