With the help of director Kevin Macdonald, producer Ridley Scott and a few hundred other filmmakers, YouTube is making a movie.
YouTube, owned by Mountain View, California-based Google Inc., is organizing the creation of ``Life in a Day,'' a project that plans to document July 24 with user-submitted videos from around the world.
YouTube is asking people to upload footage of their daily lives. Macdonald (``The Last King of Scotland,'' ``State of Play'') serves as director and will edit together a feature-length documentary from the submitted material. Scott (``Gladiator,'' ``Robin Hood'') will produce.
The film will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January. It will simultaneously be streamed on YouTube for free. Those whose footage makes it into the film will be credited as co-directors, and 20 of them will be flown to Sundance for the premiere.
