The Owner

This film has everything a view could ask for. There are moments of humor, suspense, surrealism, drama, and introspection, all within in minutes of each other. I was amazed at how well each of the individual directors worked together to make a cohesive, fun, and thought provoking story. It's evident that everyone involved worked hard to keep a singular message and POV in mind, and the effort paid off. All the vignettes flowed together seamlessly, yet each managed to have a unique, individualized look and feel, and that takes a lot of work and care. Some of the vignettes worked better for me than others, but that will probably be the case for each viewer. If a segment doesn't work for you, hang in there...another one will come along that will draw you right back into the overall story. I won't give away the ending, but I will say that the final minutes of dialog will move you and keep you thinking long after you're done viewing this film. Bravo to the filmmakers and to everyone involved for creating such a warm and innovative work.

Amazing project ! This must be a collaboration of future ! Congrats to all crews.Great idea and great work you have done.It was a pleasure to watch it. I can imagine how hard is to coordinate a job like this with so many crews,but the results are just great ! And for the audience is very interesting i think to find so many different cultures in one project.Keep realizing a good ideas like this,so the people could find more cool movies like 'the owner'. This movie absolutely deserve guinness nomination and it is one of the kind ! There aren't a lot of projects with multiple directors specially with so many ,and thats give a lot of styles and make it interesting and unique.

A wonderfully creative, innovative, colorful and enjoyable movie. The directors certainly had their hearts in the right place: creativity and experimentation rather than monetary gain or adherence to strict reality.

By virtue of its unprecedented number of directors, The Owner is unique. The thrill, variety and color of the movie, as the plot moves from one country to another and often from one language to another, are unmistakable. The different segments and sub-plots are sometimes witty and at times poignant. The audience at one moment witnesses fashion models, police, and mystery, and soon enough video-games, child-birth, and death.

An inspiration for future filmmakers. A tribute to collaboration.

Shortcomings: Perhaps becomes a little too long towards the second half. The first half is definitely more compelling. Some amount of stereotyping: bullock-carts in the India segment, for instance.

What an amazing achievement! The entire project from conception through production and final product is just mind boggling! I found "The Owner" to be a refreshing and insightful film. Clarity, continuity and creativity on the part of every director involved is just stellar.The use of technology in coordinating production and writing the script adds a new layer to film making. The post production work brought a sense of seamless flow to the story. I realize my entire review is a stream of hyperbole, but this film was so different, I don't want to ruin it for anyone by going into too much detail regarding the plot twists. Just go see it. I highly recommend "The Owner".

The Owner is truly one of the most amazing films I've seen in the last years.

Personally I feel the story of making the Owner is as big as the film itself - 25 directors from all over the world gather their resources to create one film. A film like this would have been impossible to make just years ago but now, in the time of networking over the internet, a whole new world opens up for independent filmmakers.

Specifically interesting about The Owner is the story the filmmakers created to weave all their different segments into one whole story. The Owner is not a collection of short stories but a journey. A journey of a backpack which travels the world.

I am very curious to see what else we'll see from CollabFeature during the next years.
