so big that it could employ for months everyone around the nation that is out of work due to the recession. I want to do with a very big film, what Tool (the band) did with their song "Lateralus" This song takes it's music and pacing from the fibonnacci spiral. My film idea I am currently stewing in my brain, is to mimic a spiral with both the number of characters and locations in the film, as well as the plot and storylines. Basically, each person beginning with the one that the film starts with, each has their own storylines and adventures. As the plot goes on, more characters and stories are introduced, exponentially increasing until at the end of the film, thousands of characters are in it, each interacting with other characters in their storylines, and it all comes back to the beginning. The main problems are logistics across the country, and of course, funding this massive monstrosity of a film. Anyone want to help? (Not a public asking for funding, that would require security laws to be met.) More, does anyone want to help me turn this into a reality and possibly, save America's economy and people?

What is your estimate of the total cost. Sounds very high.

I'd need enough to pay each of the hundreds of thousands of employees, so yes a whole lot. A conservative educated guesstimate...I'd say 1.2 billion would be a good start. A trillion would probably be needed by the end of post-production.

So many people just want to be in a movie, you can probably get thousands to work for freeflowerforyou

you misunderstand. I intend to entirely pull the country out of a recession, I want to pay everyone.

Since the jobs will disappear when the project is done, this isn't a true solution to the larger problems in the economy. It's basically a short term stimulus. Perhaps you make your project a non-profit and encourage visitors to donate. This would generate capital and cause real growth.

The good thing about movies, is that they can have a nearly unlimited number of sequels. (Assuming the series stays awesome throughout.)

Wow that is a big project. I do hope you succeed. I know you have participated in creating a movie before, so I am sure you have this project well planned out. It is just the financial aspect that slows down creative people, yet one who seeks shall find a way.

Again good luck and may you succeed in restoring peace and harmony in this world. drinker

even if it doesn't work, trying to fix things is better than doing nothing about them.
