Sneak Peek Ridley Scott's "Life In A Day"

The ambitious 'crowd-sourced' film project "Life In A Day", "...the story of a single day on Earth...", executive produced by Oscar winning film-makers Ridley Scott and Kevin MacDonald, is now available for viewing in its entirety.

Scott asked amateur filmmakers to record one day in their lives — specifically, July 24th, 2010. Following a review of over 80,000 submissions from 192 countries, with 4,500 hours of footage, Scott and MacDonald crafted the material into a professional doc that previously screened @ The Sundance Film Festival.

"It was very important for the film to feel structured," said MacDonald, "because there's nothing worse than watching a movie and feeling, 'I don't know where this is going and I don't think the director knows where this is going'".

The film has been subtitled into more than 25 languages.
