Since its launch late September 2007, the Film category has grown from a few exceptional films, to a cornucopia of amazing talent, with nearly 1000 members with film submitting privileges!! The amazing quality and variety of the members and films we have on deviantART now, we have a perfect formula for a Proactive Community. We – the members of the film team and Artist Relations – believe that we need to make a vigorous effort to bring the film community together. We introduce you to the Film Webring Wrangling Project!
