| Filmmaker Spike Lee has partnered with Nokia to direct a movie made solely with cell phone footage from everyday people. Spike Lee calls this "the democratization of film." Get your cell phone ready to start filming and submit footage to Nokia Productions. But first you have to wait for your "assignment" for each act that will be announced online. You will then have four weeks to produce their submission. According to Spike Lee, "You are seeing first hand the democratization of film...Aspiring filmmakers no longer have to go to film school to make great work. With a simple mobile phone, almost anyone can now become a filmmaker." Nokia will choose 25 submissions. The people can vote online for their favorite for a top 10 from which Spike Lee will then choose the winning submission from each act. |  |
Spike Lee will direct the film through the Web site. The final film with the three winning submissions and other contributed content will premiere later this year in Los Angeles.
