I wanted to let everyone know about a new documentary being developed about the free culture movement, tentatively titled COPYCAT. I'm exploring the effect the Internet has had on our culture and our behavior as a society. Specifically, I'm looking into the myriad of communication tools available on the Internet and exploring how they have affected the way we create and experience our own culture. The result will be a series of short episodes culminating with a final feature-length piece that draws them all together, similar to what Steal This Film is doing. The episodes as well as the final project will be released BY-SA.
I've set up a variety of outlets for users to track and contribute to the development of the project. Using Lessig's corruption wikinotes as an example, I've set up a series of pages on my wiki for keeping track of required reading, current events, people I should know about, etc. You can find the portal at http://www.hungryfilmmaker.com/wiki/Portal:Copycat . If you'd like to contribute, please go to the wiki, create an account, and poke around a bit.
I also have a del.icio.us page for keeping track of online research and a twitter account for short-form updates. I've made a post with all the details on my blog at http://hungryfilmmaker.blogspot.com/ titled "Open notes."
I'll also be at the SPARC-ACRL forum on scholarship in the 21st century in Philadelphia. If you'd like to contribute in other ways, please send me an e-mail.
Best, // Matt ---------- Matt Agnello http://www.hungryfilmmaker.com < [EMAIL PROTECTED] >
