Is the future of cinema truly this democratic? We dunno, but if you want to find out there's probably no better person to ask than Ridley Scott, who is teaming up with Kevin Macdonald and YouTube to produce Life In A Day. The idea is to get people from all over the world to submit videos taken on July 24, 2010. From here, director Kevin Macdonald will assemble a feature length documentary, to premiere at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. What's more, if your footage makes the cut you can be one of twenty lucky folks invited to the festival. Pretty wild, huh? Hit the source link for info on submitting your masterpiece. Trailer after the break.
Saweet!

"an historic event in movie history"
A historic event in failed editing, how professional.
@Mementos Maybe it's meant to be spoken like a Cockney?
"An 'istoric event in movie 'istory"
@Mementos
it's not incorrect, softer 'h' words can use either, for example 'an hour' - it's particularly common in 'h' words that are 3 syllables or more. just a matter of accent and origin or the writer.
@OriginalJosh
The "h" in historic is not soft, unless the writer is indeed speaking cockney or some other dialect where the "h" is dropped.
"an historic event in movie history"
A historic failure in editing history.
