Last summer, Ridley Scott and Last King of Scotland director Kevin McDonald teamed up with YouTube for a "historic global experiment" that would work like this: You send them some video of your activities on July 24, 2010 (a Saturday) and they would edit the best footage into a documentary film about the world's events that day, credit you as a co-director and premiere it at the Sundance Film Festival under the title Life in a Day.
