The film business through Amazon Studios, a new project based on crowd sourcing, i.e. let users make free and voluntary work. The operation of Amazon Studios is based on allowing people to send their scripts and the most promising materialize through an agreement that Amazon has signed with Warner Bros.

To all this must be added an important social component that will allow users to comment and assess the work submitted and to modify the script or alternate endings. In short, Amazon Studios is a kind of brainstorming amateur film.

Earlier I said that the work would be free, but the fact is that aspiring directors and writers can also win lucrative cash prizes for his work on Amazon Studios. In fact, during 2010 there was a budget of $ 2.7 million to distribute to them through regular competitions and other awards. It may seem a lot, but if any of the movies that come out of this bold project is a success, the investment will pay off handsomely.

This last part, the conversion of this work amateur big budget films, will in principle with Warner, as I said, but this study rejects a specific project can be negotiated to bring it to the big screen with other producers.

Amazon has made sure to keep the public away from Amazon Film Studios with some of the clauses that can be found in the terms of use. For example, Amazon will have exclusive rights to the material during a period of 18 months, which will certainly make those who already got into the scene look normal funding channels.
