Openfilm has recently hosted its first Get It Made competition, for a chance to win a $200,000 budget to transform a short film into a feature. The top six user-submitted films are determined by popular vote, at which point a panel of film industry professionals decide the winner.
OpenFilm is no longer active, and the site shows a message that it has been shut down.
