NomadsLand is strictly open source. Anyone can register an account - professional journalists, filmmakers, essay writers, video journalists and aspiring amateurs. We publish print and video - feature films, documentaries, travelogues, news features, essays or opinion pieces. So long as your creation seeks to creatively make a bold statement about a vital social issue or expand international horizons while entertaining or engaging, we will host it on our site. The community of ‘nomads' through ratings and guest editor- programmers set the editorial agenda. We are also rolling out a virtual theater network - where film salons in major cities can download and project feature length films. Our editorial perspective is center-left. We believe our job as ‘nomads' is not only to inform but catalyze - to progressively point towards untried solutions. Old guard journalists anachronisticly believe that informing the public is enough, when nearly every institution that delivers mass media today is in collusion with the corporate, political even military structures who seek to preserve the status quo. Good journalism or filmmaking doesn't assume that by merely informing the public, civic and political institutions miraculously provide the tools to solve pressing problems. In fact, it's usually these institutions that need investigating the most. Our financial model is center-right. We're not a non-profit, though we often partner with them. We are a "social enterprise" who believes profits as a means to higher ends can only be a good thing. We believe people producing thought provoking media should be fairly compensated and those making gratuitous and indulgent crap should not. Unlike the current journalism and television models, NomadsLand "attaches" text and video advertising to individual films and articles. We then pay out 50% of the revenue that we earn to the individual author through electronic payment - in perpetuity. This way, freelance authors can be paid months or years after their article, video or film is published as long as it is still attracting traffic. Those with the keenest insights and enduring observations will profit most. Many of the original "nomads" are independent filmmakers and we feel that a meritorious, open source, royalty model, where people are continuously paid for readership or viewership is the best incentive for quality. Profit-making will never eclipse our core values. There are no venture capitalists breathing down our necks because we didn't ask for millions of dollars to get things running. Our overheads are low because a "distributed work force of nomads" shares programming, editing and moderating duties. We use a mix of proprietary and open source software so our technology is collaborative and constantly evolving. Finally, our mission is global, not ethnocentric naval gazing. Our English text is translated into 9 different languages. Our films come from every corner of the globe. We seek to amplify voices marginalized by traditional media outlets especially voices in the developing world and crisis areas. So now you know where we stand. Register now to let us know where you stand. We realize not everyone is a born storyteller. But everyone has a story. NomadsLand want to provide the resources and peer support to create an army of raconteurs which can help return mass media back to the masses. So welcome to our site... a meeting place for citizens of the world.
Axiom Films is an integrated film company, which brings together all the company's film related activities. These include the production of feature films in which Axiom also invests; their theatrical, DVD and television distribution in the UK; and their international sales. The company also produces documentary films as features and for television. The Axiom brand was established in 1995 and in May 2004 the group merged with the production company UKI Films, creating a new larger structure, with interests in documentary filmmaking as well as features. We have an expanding portfolio of diverse and award-winning theatrical films to our name, most which have been made in co-production with established producers worldwide. Each film has premiered in official selection at one of the major international film festivals (Berlin, Cannes, Venice, Locarno, Toronto, San Sebastian) but we also take pride in the fact that not only are they intended as theatrical features but, in each case, they have been acquired by distributors and released in cinemas in most of the major territories for audiences to enjoy. Axiom is a company which is consistently associated with quality rather than quantity, and we strive to develop our business by fostering close working relationships with some of the most creatively outstanding filmmakers from all parts of the world including Europe, Australia, South America, North America and Asia. The fact that we also acquire films for distribution as well as producing them ourselves provides us with a leading edge in terms of access to talent and the demands of the international market.

It is envisioned as an environment of mutual and equal respect.
