It is an initiative to experiment and explore a more collaborative and open approach to film making, aiming to be appealing, easy to be a part of and easy to contribute for hobbyists, enthusiasts and professionals alike using FOSS tools, resources, and the power of social networking. A donation system will be setup at http://www.chambaproject.in/contribute/ when we are ready to accept money. You can add your name to the pledge at http://www.pledgebank.com/chambaproject There are other ways you can help as well.

This is not just a movie project, it is a whole different way of creating culture, some models of which we are already familiar like Free Software, Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap, this time we are onto film making.

We would definitely like to see this movie available in as many languages as possible. So I would expect more people from here to help with translations of subtitles and dubbing in local languages. Also it would be great to have this project covered in Local language sites including your own personal blogs and local media.
