What makes Iron Sky particularly cool, in my opinion, is that despite its goofy, B-movie premise, the production values look to be top notch. And tons of the ideas, visuals, and other aspects of the film were all crowdsourced. Internet fans also provided about $1 million of the funding for the movie.

More like this please.

I still think the best Superbowl commercial was the one that Chevy crowdsourced.

There’s something about getting fans and creative people to collaborate with one another that can really add not just quality, but a level of enthusiasm to a project that I find really inspiring.

The grassroots creativity that we’re seeing these days is a really hopeful counterpoint to all the negativity that the SOPA fight spawned.

Maybe the future of film isn’t just big-budget blockbusters from the giant studios.

As film technology gets cheaper, and the internet gives us the tools to work together in unprecedented ways, maybe crowdsourcing is the future of not just film but music, art, and everything else.

At least for now we get moon Nazis.

(P.S. Alex mentions that its opening in Berlin. Seems like an odd choice for a movie about Nazis, but what do I know?)
