Press Release Author = Lets Film

Industry = Internet & Online

Press Release Summary = www.LetsFilm.com is in the process of making a revolutionary
movie - By bringing people from all over the world to collaborate over the Internet.

When ready, \"The Bomb Within\" will be the world\'s first complete commercial film
that will be starred, written, produced, directed, edited and distributed, by a team
of people \"passionate about movies\" collaborating from all over the world.


Press Release Body = January 30, 2007, Worldwide: LetsFilm.com - A unique community
website project that plans to bring thousands of talented minds on the same online
platform for the purpose of creating a "complete mainstream film," was launched
today.

The project has officially begun building its first film called \"The Bomb Within,\" a
story that unfolds in a post 9/11 era, surrounding the discovery of a new
biochemical weapon. Lets Film has written a synopsis of the script and posted it on
the site, which a global community of thousands of talented, budding scriptwriters
is expected to takeover and drive to completion.

Commenting on the launch, Hinesh Jethwani, Founder & Head, Lets Film, said, \"Through
this unique community website, we plan to bring talented individuals that are
passionate about movies and have a willingness to share and learn from one another.
This would be the first time that anyone in the world has attempted to make a
complete commercial film that will be starred, written, produced, directed, edited
and distributed, by a team of people simply passionate about movies collaborating
from all over the world."

Lets Film has setup a Wiki (the same technology that powers the immensely popular
online encyclopedia called Wikipedia), which will allow virtually thousands of
scriptwriters to work on the same script simultaneously. In the meanwhile, budding
actors, directors, editors, producers, effects artists and even extras who want to
play any kind of a role in the film can create their profiles on the site with their
audios (voiceovers), videos (demo reels), photos (portfolios), profiles (resumes),
etc.

An online rating system will allow both visitors and members to vote for their
favorite members. A jury is in the process of being setup that will sort through
profiles and pick the most popular members to play key roles in the making of the
film.

However, whether somebody gets to play the lead role or not, at the end of the day,
everyone is a winner, says Hinesh.

\"Registration on LetsFilm.com is absolutely free for life. Members of Lets Film will
be able to chat/IM/email each other, which will make it a true collaborative
platform for them to expand their horizon. Plus, they will get the opportunity to
interact with their counterparts located all across the world. For anyone with a
genuine passion for movies, this would be an experience of a lifetime,\" he adds.

From the days of the dotcom fallout, the Internet has evolved into a new avatar,
more popularly known as Web2.0. UGC or User Generated Content is at an all time
high. Internet users from all over the world are contributing and sharing their
knowledge through open media like blogs, forums and chat rooms. Lets Film's unique
attempt at making a \"complete commercial\" film by bringing together people from all
over the world on the Internet is an innovative spin-off on UGC.

"Sites like YouTube, DailyMotion and GoogleVideo have started a unique era for Web
2.0, something I like to term as User Generated Movies - i.e. UGM. It's about time
that a complete User Generated Movie be played at your nearest cinema hall," says
Hinesh.

Lets Film expects community-styled filmmaking to challenge closed-door proprietary
fillmmaking that has long since been the norm in the film industry.
