Several months after my film-production group, Castparty Productions, completed "A Tale of Two Cinemas," we got the bad news that one of our subjects -- Arthur Chandler, proprietor of the Wollaston Theater" in Quincy, MA -- had passed away just a month after we filmed him and his long-shuttered neighbor...

Galapagos Regained

James Morrow, author of The Philosopher's Apprentice, is using iCrew for his newest project, "Galapagos Regained"!

How does iCrew work?

Each person and project on iCrew gets a homepage.

Your personal homepage has two tabs: a customizable profile and a blog.

Each project you create includes those tools and more:

  • A "needs" tab, where you request and receive help
  • A credits tab, where you recognize people who helped you out
  • General and off-topic discussions
 		    

Why contribute to other people's projects?

  • Help out people doing worthy creative endeavors
  • Meet new friends & collaborators
  • Build your skills & portfolio
  • Gain credits & recognition
  • Participating is better than a front-row seat
 		    

Why use iCrew for your projects?

Build a community of "friends of the project" who may provide:

  • An idea, a fact or an educated opinion
  • A song or a sound effect
  • A prop or a special effect
  • A logo or a photo
  • A title, a line of a dialog or a translation
  • A contact or a technical tip
  • Website development and design
  • Marketing or publicity help
