OK noone seems to know the existance of this site, so just for the record:

www.bmwfilms.com

The site has a propriatery dvd-like player, although you can use quicktime to view the films, once downloaded.

Basically there are 6 short films directed by the likes of Ang Lee (crouching tiger), John Frankenheimer (ronin, grand prix), Guy Ritchie (ls2sb), etc. The films are all fucking fantastic to watch, very well produced, and well worth the download time.

Broadband connections only ppl - there are 2 sizes of each film, and 2 trailers for each one. The large films are each about 80Mb.

My favourate is 'the follow', although the 'the star' is very good too. Fuck it, they're all brilliant

By the way never got to mention it Tom but liked yer webby (but why the name 'Pollen-Prod'?). You got some awfully expensive equipment... Tremor's gonna have to pay REAL good for his documentary... £200 a day from the look of it without editing

£250 per day for cameraman
£400 per day for camera lights etc
£200 per day for soundman with kit
