Writers are starting to finish their scripts for the Indyish Assembly 2.0. They need to be uploaded to Celtx Project Central by midnight (pacific time) May 31st, which is coming up quickly now. Once the projects are passed to illustrators, we’ll be linking to the scripts and posting them here on the blog for you […]

From the Assembly 2.0 Team:
Want to perform in the Montreal Fringe? Don’t have time to rehearse?
Indyish is calling for actors and directors to take part in Assembly 2.0, a collaborative art project taking place during the Montreal Fringe. It’s a six-week, 4-legged relay, using software from Celtx to pass projects from writers, actors, animators, […]

Hey so yes, as mentionned, I did end up taking on production for one of the Assembly Films. Tessa describes a bit of what I did in this post. I gave the script’s author, Sylvia Rich, a bit of a preview today so I figured I could sneakpeek one this way as well. I […]

As you’ll see from the segment of an email back and forth below, Astria Suparak has got my back. All our backs. What I mean is - though some of the artists on Indyish.com aren’t necessarily pumping this co-authored site full of daily blog posts and products, they are still stitching us into other circuits […]

What do you think is the most important thing to consider when working collaboratively?
You have to be willing to accept that changes will be made to the project without your consent, sometimes to aspects of the project that you may have laboured over and love.
Collaboration […]

As part of our ongoing harassment of the Celtx staff (who are currently weathering a hard core version of our recent snow storm out in Newfoundland) I sent an interview their way, and one of the Celtx founders, Mark Kennedy, super kindly took the time to respond. Here’s part one of two for your bloggy […]

Want to get a great idea of how the arts aspects of open source are evolving? You’ll get a huge dose from the aggregator built on a site called, of course, peace love and happiness. The site might be dizzying at first because it has so much info, but I think you’ll want to check […]

Indyish is looking for illustrators to contribute to the ongoing evolution of the relay art project The Assembly.
The Assembly: 7 teams of writers authored 7 scripts. 7 directors are using those scrips to produce 7 movies. 7 bands are composing and performing original film scores.
To compliment this month-long insanity, and with help from Celtx, […]

Celtx sent swag for the Indyishers of the Assembly! Here’s me sporting one of the jackets- so cozy on this heaps-of-snow morning. We also got some equally nice tshirts and other stuff that we’ll give out and raffle for participants at the screening. And with their help, we’re starting production on an Assembly Project ‘zine […]

Pics of the crew! Assembly project manager Tessa Smith, Indyish staff and Assembly participant Tristan Brand, frequent music video producer and Indyish volunteer Martin Reisch, and Arts Community Developer for Indyish Maryanna Hardy all looking their fine and hard working selves at the post-meeting meeting we had yesterday at the Croissanterie on Ste. Catherine. More […]

We’re nearing the end of the first week of The Assembly Film/Music Relay. Seven scriptwriting teams have been working since last Saturday to take the short rock opera piece given to them by Stephen Taylor and build 5-10 minute film scripts.
Seems like things are going pretty well so far. I’ve gotten a fairly steady […]

On Saturday we had our first of the weekly meets we’ll be coordinating for The Assembly. At the start of each leg of this arty relay, Tessa and I decided it would be a good idea to meet with whoever wanted to come out, talk through any and all questions they might have and sort […]

Check out the initial email and basic rule and project breakdown for The Assembly, care of Tessa, and try and tell me it’s not freakin thorough, rockin and dear:
So…..The Assembly kicks off tomorrow! Here’s the info you’ll need to get started. Please read through it and email me with absolutely any questions as I know […]

In the spirit of the upcoming Film and Music Relay The Assembly (woo!) Tessa asked us for ideas on ressources, and hey I happen to have one. I know where in town you can get some potential creative inspiration and even footage you can legally use, if you’re into sampling and thinking of taking on […]
