The "PROJECT 8" Independent Film Network is the brain child of co-founders, Rico Stowers and L. Storm Gaye.
PROJECT 8 was established with the indie film and video director, producer, musician, music video director, actor, writer, casting agent, talent scout and/or agent and enthusiast in mind. There are more people making indie films now than ever before. Hollywood no longer controls the camera. We want to be the face and the voice of those with a creative mind.
This is the OFFICIAL myspace page for PROJECT 8. We want to welcome any and everyone interested in networking on the independent film and tv or major motion picture and studio network levels. We want to introduce new script writers, aspiring actors and actresses, agents, directors, producers. We want to be the one stop source to connect people with people. You cannot have talent without people.
PROJECT 8 can be viewed on MixCast Television Network online. The channel will be broken up into catagories such as indie music videos, crazy clips, indie film shorts, commercials, etc. No matter what kind of footage or clips you may have, there will be a spot for it on PROJECT 8. If there are any questions or inquires, feel free to drop a line to
[email protected] and if you would like to submit your footage or clips to be viewed, send them to
