Ridley Scott is known for his epic science fiction film classics like Alien and Blade Runner (both the original from 1982, and that rubbish with Ryan Gosling).

He also directed Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, Robin Hood, Matchstick Men, G.I. Jane…

Look, he’s directed many of the movies you’ve seen. He churns them out like a factory.

His latest project is a sequel to a documentary film that he made in 2010, called Life in a Day. Following the same formula of the original film, you won’t see the likes of Will Smith or Russell Crowe or any other big Hollywood name in the credits.

You could see your name, though.

Engadget explains:

For the follow-up to Life in a Day, they’re asking people all over the planet to film a part of their life on July 25th.

A team of 30 reviewers, three editors and Macdonald will go through the footage and assemble a feature-length documentary. Life in a Day 2020 will premiere at Sundance and on YouTube next year.

I’ll let Scott and Macdonald talk you through it:

You’ll need to meet certain requirements, and fill out consent forms, all of which you’ll find, here.

Not all submissions will make the final cut, but there are a few ways to boost your chances.

For instance, the filmmakers suggest you film in landscape mode at as high a resolution as possible and use an external microphone if you can.

Last time around, people in 189 countries submitted more than 80,000 clips totaling around 4,500 hours of footage. Macdonald and his team whittled that down to a memorable 95-minute documentary.

You’ll have until August 2, 2020 to submit your footage.

I’ll leave you with the full doccie, Life in a Day, from 2010, for inspiration:
