The 1 Second Film is an American non-profit collaborative art project which began as a student project by Nirvan Mullick in 2001. Receiving contributions from thousands of people around the world, including many celebrities, the project is currently dormant.[2]
The film is built around one second of animation (composed of 12 large collaborative paintings), and is followed by one hour of credits, listing everyone who signs up (regardless of whether a contribution is made or not). A feature-length "making of" documentary will play alongside the credits.[3]
The project allows people around the world to participate online, and lists everyone who joins the crew as "Special Thanks" in the film credits.[4] The production relies on crowd funding to raise the budget; everyone who donates or raises US$1 or more gets their name listed as a Producer in the film's credits.[5][6] The production also gives a Publicist credit to crew members who refer at least one friend.[7] The film has over 56,000 crew members from 158 countries.[1]
In 2016, the director, Nirvan Mullick, posted an update on the project. He stated it had been dormant, being put on the "back burner" in 2012, but he planned to revive it shortly. As of 2025 this has yet to occur.[8] By January 2019, the project's website was offline entirely due to a database corruption.[9][better source needed]
