Life in a Day

Writer's picture: Jenny WynterJenny Wynter

My head is reeling.

Namely cos I just discovered this incredible “global social history experiment”: “Life in a Day”.

The concept is this:

– on July 24th, anybody and everybody on Planet Earth is invited to film their day;

– the filmmakers (did I mention it’s produced by Ridley Scott, y’all?!) will then cut together a documentary titled…you guessed it…let’s move along then;

– the film will then be screened at Sundance Film Festival in 2011.


This boggles my brain in so many ways, but I’ll just nut it down to a couple here, shall I?

1. How the heck are they gonna deal with THOUSANDS of people’s footage in one doco?

2. If I was gonna opt in, what on earth would I film?

3. Oh, hang on: on July 24th 2010, at around 3.30 in the afternoon, I will be reuniting with my best friend in the world, Frankie – after not having seen her for THREE YEARS – and what’s more, we, with seven children in total between us, will be:

a) child-free; and

b) in New York City.

BOGGLE. BOGGLE. BOGGLE.

Comments


I acknowledge the Gubbi Gubbi, Wakka Wakka and Butchulla peoples, the First Nation Traditional Owners of Country, and custodians of the land and waters on which I live and work, and all the peoples who have welcomed me on Country. I pay respects to all Elders past and present and acknowledge the young leaders who are working beside Elders in our cultural industries in the continuation of cultural, spiritual and educational practices. I recognise all First Nation peoples as the original storytellers of these lands and acknowledge the important role they continue to play in our community.
