The Best Man - July 24th, 2010

This is our submission to the experimental feature documentary LIFE IN A DAY, executive produced by Ridley Scott. The director, Kevin Macdonald, asked YouTube users around the globe to film the moments that composed their day on July 24th, 2010. He then asked contributors to answer the following questions to help him organize his vision:

·What do you love?
·What do you fear?
·What makes you laugh?
·What's in your pocket?

"Every day, 6.7 billion people view the world through their own unique lens. Imagine if there was a way to collect all of these perspectives, to aggregate and mold them into the cohesive story of a single day on earth.

"Life in a Day," a historic cinematic experiment will attempt to do just that: document one day, as seen through the eyes of people around the world. On July 24th users had 24 hours to capture a snapshot of their life on camera. They could film the ordinary -- a sunrise, their commute to work, a neighborhood soccer match, or the extraordinary -- a baby's first steps, their reaction to the passing of a loved one, or even a marriage.

Kevin Macdonald, the Oscar-winning director of films such as The Last King of Scotland, Touching the Void and One Day in September, will then edit the most compelling footage into a feature documentary film, to be executive-produced by Ridley Scott, the director behind films like Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, Thelma & Louise, Blade Runner and Robin Hood. LG Electronics is supporting "Life in a Day" as a key part of its long-standing "Life's Good" campaign and to support the creation of quality online content that can be shared and enjoyed by all.

The film will premiere at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and the contributors footage that makes it into the final cut, will be credited as a co-directors."
