Make a Film with Me and Spike Lee by Joe Lencioni

Do you have a cell phone? Can it take pictures or video? Do you like to make music or write? How would you like to collaborate with Spike Lee on a film? What if you could also win stuff?

Spike Lee has teamed up with Nokia to create a massively collaborative-social film composed entirely out of content created by people like you. The theme is humanity and the idea is that anybody can create filmworthy content on gadgets that they already have (e.g. cell phones and digital cameras).

Any submissions that don’t include copyrighted work are elligible. If you need some inspiration, you can follow the project on Twitter. And you can contribute to the project even if you don’t have any new photos, video, music or text to submit. You should definitely take a moment or two to get involved–you might end up with your name on a Spike Lee film, and that’s pretty cool.

The second round of submissions are under way, so be sure to act fast. A few artists from across the country (including myself) have been brought on as Assistant Directors and we are hoping to see a lot of good content come across. I am excited to see what you come up with so if you submit anything, please post a link here in the comments.
