films franchise

I have for some time now wanted to start a school of traveling actors who do good deeds, get into strange situations, and do improvised (or premeditated) public performances.

I thought that using a simple franchise- guardians of paradise would be great, though possibly copyrighted- and posting the videos online (and maybe sell DVDs also) would be an awesome first step. I envision it something like the Jackass movies, only with less idiocy and more volunteering in war zones (always a prime place for a video camera).

This is a good idea because:
Everyone likes to be in movies, because it destroys inhibitions, enhances creativity, and gives yo a rush
It would be a great way to take vacations together and document them
Several people planning a trip (of any duration) involving something worth filming would be so much more worthwhile than just hanging out at the beach every year.

I'll try to work out the bugs, finding enough writers and planners would definitely be the biggest problem, but planning is easier when there are many to do it!

Hope this one happens.

Hello again, and here we are with another installment!
It seemed Besides the Lovely Malferma, nobody wanted to help with researching cold water ship technology. My attemts to contact Craven, the inventor of the hurricane tower, have met with failure. However, the pledge of money stands should someone become interested.
I have a new Idea now, and Hereby pledge 5000$ to the following project:
In the event that society collapses, it will become more and more important to have a personal food source. Already there have been marked food shortages worldwide as droughts and increased meat consumption drive food prices beyond the availability of the worlds' poorest consumers. Meanwhile, local farmers in the west are often barely able to remain debt free while supporting a modern lifestyle.

In the event of increased food shortages, subsistance farming through land ownership may become a growth industry. At the current rate of world population growth, this is almost inevitable given enough time.

Fortunately, when more people live on a productive piece of property, such as an integrated or permaculture farm, more is produced. The New world enterprises Land trust is dedicated to buying a piece of property somewhere in the world and beginning a farm according to the wishes of those who pay for it and chose to live there.

I am certainly willing to donate more than this initial contribution, but that is dependant on outside interest. Again, please leave a comment if you would like to contribute to this scheme.
