Technology, Cosmologists and a Unique Indy Documentary

If anyone is interested -djs

----------------------------------------------

I thought you might be interested in this pretty cool story that might in turn interest your site readers.

BLAST is a film that follows a team of cosmologists as they journey from the Arctic to the Antarctic to launch a unique telescope on a massive NASA high-altitude balloon.

In a great example of how technology is transforming the independent film world, BLAST is opening itself up, via ArtistShare (the first film to do so on ArtistShare), to interested participants on several levels. If you want to be Executive Producer, $150k gets you there. Want to participate on other levels, from $50k down to $19.95? No problem: There are a total of nine levels of participation.

Here's the BLAST site:

Here's the ArtistShare page:

And here's an interview with filmmaker Paul Devlin:

I hope you find this worth sharing with your audience. If you have any suggestions on where else I might be able to spread the word about BLAST, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Thanks for reading.
