In 2008 three Spanish friends, still in their early twenties, decided to embark on a visionary project: “The Cosmonaut”, a transmedia feature film aiming to create an alternative pro- duction model to the one used by the current cinema industry. Financed from crowdfunding and small investors, licensed under creative commons and with the goal of being released simultaneously on TV, in the cinemas and on the internet as a free alternative; “The Cosmo- naut” was the project everybody was talking about. Three years later, with more than 4.000 backers and 250.000€ of the budget obtained through crowdfunding, they traveled to Latvia to finally shoot the movie... but instead of it being the end of their problems to make the film, it was only just the beginning.
