Spike Lee has partnered with Nokia to direct a movie made from cell phone footage shot by "everyday people" [I’m more of a twice a day person].
The film by Nokia Productions will consist of three acts. An "assignment" for each act will be announced online and people will then have four weeks to produce their submission.
"You are seeing first hand the democratization of film," Lee said in a statement on Thursday. "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." [Yahoo]
That’s right, all you have to do is pick it up and dial. “Hello, Hollywood? This is Francis Ford Coppola’s second cousin twice removed. I wanna direct. Thanks.”
Lee said he plans to use the film to start a healthy dialog about race relations in America by portraying all white people as cartoonishly racist superdouches. -Thanks to Robo for the tip

He is a cool man. we all love him. there are so many fans of him. and they set up the groups related to stars. you can even check out his sexy and beautiful photos, videos and blogs at Wealthy Kiss.c o m.
The Why God Why banner was never needed more than right now.
He is quite a guy!!! He was said to have a personal account on a Luxury online service Wealthy Kiss.c o m for successful and celebs singles with his hot pictures and blog there. Quite a few hot girls and ladies wrote to him.
David Lynch’s name is about to become very ironic.
Ha! They’ve thought of the perfect trick to make sure a movie doesn’t get bootlegged! If it already looks like it was caught on a shitty cameraphone, imagine how much more shitty it will look when bootlegged on a shitty cameraphone!
Act I: White people be crazy and racist
Act II: Black people trying to get along in an unfair world
Act III: Jungle Fever!

Never has the term ‘director’ meant so little…
Surely if someone else has shot all the footage and he just puts it together he can only get a credit for the story and editing? If not I am going to hijack movies just as they are about to be released and claim that I am the director.
I shot a movie on a cell phone. It was called "Dude, she was so hammered…" The sequel was "Can you post bail?"
I’m not sure if it’s post related but I just sneezed all over the screen. Pretty rainbow sparkles. Awww
Bryce, he can get credit for more than the story and editing. And don’t call me Shirley.
Nope, it was post related. I’m allergic to pictures of Spike Lee.
Shelley’s a whore.
So will these movies be the opposite of the ones that tell you to turn off your cell phone in the cinema?
I hear the dialogue is going to be riveting:
wtf honkey?
orly?
u r gay
whatevs
Are you out of your mind? Can’t you see that man is a ni?
As horrible as this is gonna look, it would still lose the Razzy for cinematography to Cloverfield.
Zog really hope assignment bite woman face and eat coyote. Zog new phone have sepia filter.
This is all part of Michael Bay’s disinformation campaign for Transformers 2.
Burnsy, Shelley as in Michelley?
Can you see in my window or something?
Disinformation involves much more trickery than misinformation.
Also, Michelle, Burnsy was referring to a spam quote that has since been deleted.
Oh, no. There was a Shelley spammer here. I wouldn’t dare call you a whore… to your whorish face.
This sounds like more of a project for Ang Lee.
Whew…thanks. I was beginning to think I shouldn’t have worn the ass-less chaps to work.

Weird, I had the same thought myself, but the students love ‘em.
Does the phone bill have to be paid for the camera to still work?
