The 140 second portrait-mode open source free film is still in its early stages as an art form.

Big screen → small screen
Landscape → portrait
120 mins → 140 seconds
Big budget → zero budget
Scarce distribution → free distribution
US-centric → global
View with crowd → view solo

Many have commented on this, and I’ve written about this before, but the full displacement of Hollywood by TikTok, Twitch, YouTube, and co is not yet complete.
Even Netflix and Amazon Studios may be seen as transitional forms, as we move to AI-generated video and VR everything.

How are these films “open source”?
The fact that you can click to fork and remix a TikTok video is very similar to GitHub forking.
I’d like to see a version which makes that analogy complete, where you also include the source code to synthesize the mp4, along with the binary.
