The Quentin Tarantino Archives
The Quentin Tarantino Archives
The QTA is the internet’s biggest and most popular fan website about director Quentin Tarantino. It was started as early as 1999 and has since grown into a huge news platform, wiki-powered knowledge base and huge fan community. It is comprised of a Frontpage, powered by a blogging system for the latest news, a message board for the huge community Forum and a wiki software for the actual Archives. The project is so successful, the director himself reads it and has met its founder and editor twice already. There are also Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and YouTube outlets of the QTA. All other 3FF projects and the 3FF itself have emerged from the success of The QTA.

The Deuce: Grindhouse Cinema Database
The Deuce is a wiki-powered database and fanzine about classic cult and exploitation cinema. It provides pictures, reviews, DVD availability information, articles and is accompanied by a message board. It emerged in its present form in 2007 and was founded by Peter Roberts, a veteran member of The Quentin Tarantino Archives, in cooperation with Sebastian Haselbeck. It has since grown into an in-depth wiki-zine full of exciting articles and retrospectives about classic international exploitation cinema, reviews of DVD releases and more. Its message boards are a growing meeting place of cult movie afficionados from all around the globe. The Deuce effectively uses its FlickR, YouTube, Myspace and Twitter presence to reach a wider audience and also to recreate the spirit of these good old days through videos, music mash tapes and vintage mock advertising graphics.

The Spaghetti Western Database
The Spaghetti Western Database
The SWDB is a wiki-powered encyclopedia of Italian western cinema, which includes reviews, DVD news, articles, pictures, videos and more. It is accompanied by a message board. It was started by Sebastian Haselbeck in 2004 and has since grown into the internet’s only comprehensive, searchable and community-edited encyclopedia of its kind. It has brought together genre experts and afficionados from all around the globe, adding to its pages numerous reviews, articles and general information on over 800 movies week after week. Some of its editors have traveled to movie locations in Spain in the summer of 2008. The message boards serve as an opinion and information exchange about the films, locations, available versions, lost material and screenings. American director Quentin Tarantino calls it his favorite website (‘aside from porn”). It uses Facebook and Twitter to reach out to younger audiences, as the films in question disappeared forever from movie theaters in the early 80s.
