TPB-AFK, the upcoming documentary about The Pirate Bay and its founders, is expected to be released during the fall of 2011. To complete the project, Swedish filmmaker Simon Klose is starting a campaign tomorrow through which he hopes to crowdsource the funding. True to BitTorrent‘s nature, peers are asked to contribute to the project.
The Pirate Bay has left its mark on the Internet in recent years, and continues to do so as the most visited torrent site of all time. As a result of their battles with Hollywood and other copyright holders, the people who founded the site have become Internet celebrities, celebrities that will soon have their own film credit.
To document the events that happen surrounding the Pirate Bay, Swedish filmmaker and producer Simon Klose started making a documentary about the site titled ‘TPB-AFK’. For the film, Klose followed the defendants both during the Pirate Bay trial of last year and after, and he will also be present at the upcoming appeal next month.
The film will eventually document all the events from a fly-on-the-wall perspective. To complete the documentary, however, Klose needs funding and he hopes to achieve that by asking people who believe in the project to contribute through donations. The official website of the project will be launched tomorrow, along with a discussion forum and a Kickstarter campaign where people can pledge funds.
“I want to prove that people who claim that the network is threatening cultural creation are wrong, and I will ask the Internet for help,” filmmaker Simon Klose said, commenting on his choice to crowdsource the film’s funding.
TorrentFreak contacted Peter Sunde, former Pirate Bay spokesperson and one of the film’s subjects, to ask him about his experiences thus far. “We’re happy with it, as long as the end result is good. So far it looks very good and Simon know that we are cautious, so he listens,” he explained.
Sunde further stressed that other than allowing the filmmaker into their lives, the Pirate Bay co-founders are not affiliated with the project in any way. “It is his project, we don’t own or direct anything. We just help by giving him our time,” he said.
Last year, some early TPB-AFK footage already found its way onto the Internet. The material shows the crew working out how much money they have earned from the site. More evil plans and true motivations of the former site owners are expected to be unfolded in the final release.
