Movie Funded By Twitter Users

'At Home By Myself… With You' is going to be screened at The Royal in Toronto this week. What's cool about this film is that it was financed by donations made on Twitter and Facebook.

By the time the film was shot, $42,000 worth of pocket change had been donated from strangers and fans who wanted to help.

I think Pocket Change Film did a really cool thing. They used the power of social networking to finance an entire film.

It actually looks pretty good. And it will probably get more critical acclaim than Avatar. Then again, I heard that James Cameron ate $42,000 after The Oscars. So I guess he's still the real winner here.
