Sanctuary, is a re-mixable science fiction film which, in 2005, became the first production to sign professional union actors to Creative Commons licensing terms. It is set in Head Bin, a fiction universe created by MOD Films for their remixable movie experiment.

The film was completed in 2009. Most production assets, including principal photography shot on 35mm film and digitised, have been cleared for free-for-non-commercial use. The project is a superhero origin story, as well as a pilot for a massively multi-player feature film and an open interactive story format, the RIG, being developed by MOD Films in London.
