    Intriguing concept and gripping story!

    this is an awesome example of how it is possible for people from various religions and countries to work towards a common goal - a feature film in this case. This fact alone sends out a strong message to the world that there is an alternative to the current global situation ... that people are more than ready to live and work together in a creative and peaceful way.

    The film itself offers a grand scope spanning over various continents and it is fascinating that it weaves together so very well considering that it was shot by 25 different filmmakers with their own style and background.

    Kudos to the people behind this film!

    You can see one brilliant master piece and now on its way to becoming a part of the Guinness world Record!

    They say too many cooks spoil the broth! But once you watch the Owner, the first of its kind film made by 25 filmmakers from different countries, continents!

    Most have never met each other!

    The American from Hollywood to the cows of India; the German accents and some Italian herbs spice up this incredible film!

    You can see one brilliant master piece and now on its way to becoming a part of the Guinness world Record!

    its a MUST watch!! GO on guys, watch, review, like, share!!

    The next one is on its way too!

    One project that must be seen !

    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 whole new world of filmmaking

    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.

    Remarkable !

    This film is a truly unique viewing experience. It is such an ambitious idea to unify so many filmmakers from countries around the world as part of the same concept. It has to be seen !

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      At the beginning of the film, after a man empties out the contents of the backpack and doesn't find anything valuable and leaves it, a homeless looking young girl approaches it and begins to pick up the contents. There are several letters and one of the letters she picks up has on the envelope written "mac guffin", this is a reference to a plot device popularly used in films known as a MacGuffin in which an object serves as the form of some goal, desired object, or other motivator that the protagonist pursues, often with little or no narrative explanation- just like the backpack in this film.
