Sanctuary is an upcoming re-mixable Science fiction film which became the first production (2005) to sign professional union actors to Creative Commons licensing terms. It is in VFX post production as of March 2007. Every production asset, including principal photography shot on 35mm film and digitised, has been cleared for unprecedented free-for-non-commercial use. The project is a superhero origin story, as well as a pilot for a massively multi-player feature film and an open interactive story format, the RIG, being developed by MOD Films in London.
