It will take a week to complete all the uploading and distributing ( the source files are huge) so please be patient.  This is a dream come true for me and the result of months of hard work. Jathia's Wager is a no-budget Sci-Fi film created by a collaboration of strangers.  Copy this film, distribute it, and give it away all you want - it's 100% free and I hope you like it.  Most of the people involved (including the actors and the sound designers) only know me through our e-mails and online discussions.  They learned about the project entirely online and joined the team, because they love movies and wanted to contribute. An Open Source Movie?
