Our studio is making a feature-length movie called Silver Circle. It's a thriller-romance story set in a 2019 economic disaster - and the rebels fighting back against the fed. Think V for Vendetta meets Rothbard's Case against the Fed.
Over the next year we will be doing heavy social networking and we are hiring someone to help. Is anyone here interested in a job that combines social networking, and independent film/animation? Do you know anyone who can help?
