FILM PROJECT PROPOSAL

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Objective:
The objective for this project is to create a remix drama film (titled UWERA) with its own
original plot and storyline. I want to use only the piece of theater "ICYANZU CY'IMANA" to
create the new film.

Goals:
My Goal in this endeavor is to create a remix film that redefines film itself which will be a
bridge between film and theater.

I want to embrace the remix UWERA and challenge people confusing theater and film. So i am
going to show the difference. But in order for my project to work I must first state that
"ICYANZU CY'IMANA" is copyrighted, and add distribution terms, which are a legal instrument
that gives everyone the rights to use, modify, and redistribute the play(ICYANZU CY'IMANA),
or any program derived from it.

In this way my other goal is to repurpose UWERA as art in its own which I can upload to
YouTube for others to see and to repurpose themselves.

YouTube is a sort of creative commons, art show for filmmakers like myself. It will allow for
conversation and it has the ability to be seen by anyone anywhere because of its well-known
reputation.

After its creation my film will be uploaded to Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube so that it can be
seen, passed around, and talked about. Twitter and Facebook will be great for getting the
conversation about theater and film, while YouTube will hopefully inspire people to rip my
video off and use it for themselves, or at least to be inspired to do something like it. I will type
write the point of making my film underneath the film description so that people will
understand the point of it all.

My film is supposed to be a bridge between "theater and film" and also “art and social media”.
I believe my project connects the “art that uses social networks” and “new media art”so that
people will know the difference between film and theater. The reason being for this is that my
project incorporates the use of digital technology in the creation of a work of art while also
using social media to promote and distribute it.
I am not trying to be the author of ICYANZU CY'IMANA. In fact, I am trying to take away the
authorship and give it to everyone, including myself, who takes this play(theater) and uses it
to create something new with a new way of production. I consider art anything that is created
for a purpose with meaning integral to the author who created it.

Breakdown
The process of creating my film, "UWERA", would go along the following steps:

• Finding the footage of ICYANZU CY'IMANA!

• Storyboarding the look and concept of UWERA. This roughly consists using the characters
from ICYANZU CY'IMANA and mixing them together.

• After Storyboarding and idea conception, the next step would be to take the original play
apart by scene or by cut and putting them in a screenplay.

• I would then open the file in Final Cut Express to do some nit-pick editing and to give it the
HD quality effect that movies today have.

• Save the file as a .mp4 and upload it to Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube with the description
of the movie, as well as a description of the project.
