Director Spike Lee has hooked up with Nokia to direct a movie made with Mobile phone video footage from “everyday people”, in what he is apparently calling the “democratization of film”. The film will be by Nokia Productions and will be over 3 acts – an “assignment” will be announced online for each act, adn then people will have 4 weeks to create their submission.
The central thread (theme) will apparently be based around the way music tells the story of humanity, and different media can be submitted – text, music, video, or images – which you can check out at http://www.nokiaproductions.com.
Nokia will choose 25 submissions, and people will then vote online for the Top 10, of which Spike himself will choose the winners.The final, complete, film will premiere later in the year in LA.
