The 1 Second Film is a non-profit experiment in global collaboration. We're attempting to bring as many people as we can together to make the World's Biggest Shortest Film. Everyone can participate, from celebrities to grandmothers, and any profits raised will benefit charity. Join our crew to support the arts, and be part of film history!

Here's How it Works:

The 1 Second Film will be the World's Biggest Shortest Film. The film will consist of one-second of animation (made of 12 giant paintings), followed by one-hour of credits, listing everyone who participates. Participants range from well-known filmmakers like Kevin Bacon, Stephen Colbert, and Spike Jonze, to folks who've never made a movie before. During the credits, a feature-length making of documentary will play, detailing how so many people around the world joined together for one moment.

Be Part of Film History

Participating is easy. Simply join our crew (for free) and Your Name will be added to our epic credits (Special Thanks). You can then donate $1 or more to get a Producer credit (our film is entirely funded by donations).  Producers get listed in order of amount donated; outbid a Celebrity Producer by a penny to get listed above them. For instance, $10.01 tops Kevin Bacon, $11.01 tops Stephen Colbert, or $600.24 will top Kiefer Sutherland... the list goes on and on. Crew members will also get profiles with tools to participate more.

Once Finished...

Once completed, our film will have a one-time world premiere event, after which our 12 frames of animation will be on exhibit and auctioned off. Any profits raised by our finished film (sale of the art, DVDs, merch., etc) will be donated to the Global Fund for Women. Our online community of participants will then become a platform for creating more non-profit collaborations that gradually expand in scale.

The 1 Second Film explores the power of small, perfect moments, and global collaboration. The goal of our project is to bring people around the world together, one-second at a time, to make art that makes a difference.
