Testimonials
“Finally, a way to be an angel for a film production that doesn’t act like the devil — a way to make movies without reeking of entertainment industry evil. That’s why I’m proud to support this project as a contributor and an advisor.”
Cory Doctorow,
Co-editor of Boing Boing, copyfighter, and award-winning sci-fi author
“As a concept, ’swarming angels’ is a brilliant idea to make creator-led media. The paradigm has been aching to be broken for years.”
Warren Ellis
Cult comic book writer and graphic novelist
“A Swarm Of Angels is a giant step towards a forward-thinking alternative system of movie production, and a mighty opportunity to show the combinable, combustible power of remix culture.”
The Kleptones
Remixers, mashup artists, Webby ‘Artist of the Year’ 2005
“This project truly is a great initiative. It is a nice way to show Hollywood that there are alternatives to suing people, and implementing DRM … I encourage everyone to join the project”
Ernesto, Torrentfreak
“A Swarm of Angels is exactly the kind of film project we should be rallying behind in Brighton. It has a sense of moving British film forward. I hope we can arrange a special event at the next edition of the festival later in the year as the project develops.”
Tim Brown
Director CINECITY, The Brighton Film Festival
“A Swarm of Angels has it all. Good ideas, good people and good intentions. That is why it’s going to succeed and blaze a trail for future film-makers to follow. It’s a pleasure to be involved.”
William Rowe

Hi Matt,
Looks like you’re doing amazing work with new digital technology! Really innovative and imaginative - great.
We’re following closely the progress from a media college in Somerset - any chance of an on-line interview?
All the best

Hi Matt,
I just wanted to make sure you had received my earlier request for an interview. I’m writing a piece for our publication about open source cinema and would love to focus on A Swarm of Angels, since it seems like a fascinating and innovative project. Please let me know if you will or will not be available to comment. Check out our website: odemagazine.com if you’re curious about our publication. Thanks and I look forward to hearing back from you soon.
Best,
Josey
