Networked filmmaking idea

Just found this thread. I think something like this would be amazing to be a part of. The Stand by me piece was inspiring.

Another idea: shoot just background material and make it available for individual interpretation using greenshcreen actors...Actually, that's probably a rubbish idea, sorry!

Yeah there's one up now called Cliffhanger Falls.

And FYI on this thread, I think the reason you guys are having trouble is because you're starting with location. That's an incredibly challenging place to start a story from.

Someone else mentioned a smaller group getting together and getting the idea done, and I'd agree. If you all have your own equipment, it may be possible (within budget) to fly (or bus) your main actor to these different locations. Or, alternatively, you could have your protagonist start in one part of the world/country and your antagonist start in another and have them meet in the middle. A kind of Kung-Fu/Frankenstein journey-style storytelling. The ultimate road trip.
