OUR WORLD IS ROUND
A 90min documentary to be distributed worldwide about…

32 Independent Filmmakers following
32 Worldwide Fans supporting each of the 32 World Cup Teams,
But as with any knockout competition- there can only be one Winner!

We are searching the planet for 32 talented student or independent filmmakers to compete for a place in what is possibly the biggest global independent collaborative film project ever about soccer fans and produce sections for a 90 min documentary feature film.

The score is this: each of the 32 filmmakers or production teams need to follow one fan of one of the 32 qualifying nations for the duration their teams last in the world cup. Your subject fan (could even be yourself) should be passionate about football and be following the World Cup in an extraordinary or special way. As soon as the fan's team gets knocked out of the cup, he/r and the following filmmaker drop out of the documentary. A final statement from filmmaker and fan can be recorded but the producers won’t accept any additional footage after the team has left the tournament. You send a copy of your tapes to the ‘Our world is Round’ production team as well as an edit log of preferred shots you want to see in the film and then we splice the whole 90mins together with your section included!

Filmmakers will be credited in the documentary as directors for their sections when:
-The fan is filmed during the entire time his or her team lasts in the World Cup
-The footage produced is of usable quality – Good sound is the most important!
-You don’t film international football stars or go for any professional match footage! This film is purely about the fans and must focus on them and we will not use any such footage in the final film.

4 Good reasons to get involved in this documentary:
1) Participants will have their own profile page on the Our World is Round website and their own forum section where they can post updates on their progress!

2) Media solicited contract that guarantees the filmmakers a certain share of any takings and profits made from this film.

3) Media coverage about the project, International Film Festival distribution, prospectus worldwide cinema distribution.

4) Being part of a totally unique and special film event and adding it to your very own portfolio!

If you are interested, we need from you:
1. The country you are from and a short 100 word profile of yourself (including photograph) with details of previous projects/portfolio etc.

2. Details of the exciting fan character you are proposing to follow, details of the team they support, and why you believe they are worthy of screen time in a feature documentary! We want larger than life, quirky, but more than anything – interesting characters!
