I received an email with the following info:

Apparently you register, they send you some sides, you pick a character, film the scene and submit it to them. The process "save(s) on gas, hassels, and assholes". Sounded easy enough. Then I kept reading.

They will match you with producers, crew, etc., and you produce the film. It is "distributed by the affiliates of Mystery in Motion", and "the winners will own a portion of the film.

On several areas of the site, you are told that this method will lead you on a direct path where you will soon become a household name, and you can make enough to live off residuals.
It says the same thing for procducers and crew.

On its registration page, it asks the following questions:

- Do you like the viewers to vote in talent area's?

- Do you like American Idol talent search?

- Do you like to be shocked or surprised?

I seriously encourage anyone receiving this email to read EVERY PAGE. There is a lot of fine print. Oh, and at the end, it tells you that you have to pay to submit for each role that you are interested in.

If anyone has had any experience with them - positive, negative, etc., I would love to hear from you.

Thanks for letting me put this out there.
