We’re proud and honored to announce that the American writer/director Harmony Korine is our new Cinema Reloaded director.

Once hailed as ‘the future of American cinema’ by Werner Herzog, Korine has proven himself as one of the most controversial and independent filmmakers working today. His vast and varied body of work includes Kids, his directorial debut Gummo, Julien Donkey-Boy, Ken Park and one of his most provocative films yet, Trash Humpers. Harmony Korine's short film project is called God’s Joke. It already appears on the Cinema Reloaded website, so be sure to check it out and let him know what you think.

Hey IndieWIRE!
The International Film Festival Rotterdam is pleased to welcome IndieWIRE as a new partner in the online crowdfunding experiment Cinema Reloaded. The American site, devoted to filmmakers, professionals and enthusiasts, will be devoting a permanent place on its homepage to Cinema Reloaded. Also, a new Cinema Reloaded blog by Korine, Ho and Dos Santos will be part of IndieWIRE's popular blog section and coverage of Cinema Reloaded will also be included in the new Filmmakers Toolkit section.

Goodbye Pipilotti Rist…
We are sorry to inform you that Pipilotti Rist has decided to withdraw from Cinema Reloaded. It became apparent that she has too many other projects going on to give Cinema Reloaded the attention it needs and deserves. Pipilotti regrets not having more time and energy to make it happen, as she writes in a special message to her co-producers. Every coin invested in Pipilotti’s project will automatically return to the virtual wallets of her co-producers, after which they can decide for themselves which alternative Cinema Reloaded project they wish to allocate their coins to. Will it be Alexis Dos Santos, Ho Yuhang or Harmony Korine? In order to increase the chance of reaching their minimum budget Alexis and Yuhang have decided to revise their budgets from 30.000 to 15.000.
