"While the production of these films is not entirely democratic, Veenvliet for the remainder of the presentation, very much stressed the point of the benefits of making your work (and source files) accessible for a world-wide audience.

The story of the crowd-sourcing project was eventually featured by i.e the MIT newspaper and the Dutch NRC newspaper." (Petunia video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOlwuAvmnrY)
