LIFE IN A DAY

Documentary, Drama / 95 min / 2011

On July 24, 2010, thousands of people around the world uploaded videos of their lives to YouTube to take part in Life in a Day, a historic cinematic experiment to create a documentary film about a single day on earth.

Oscar-winning director Kevin Macdonald and Oscar-nominated Joe Walker whittled down over 80,000 clips (and more than 4500 hours of footage) into a 90-minute film that gives an honest and inspiring glimpse of our world. Twenty main contributors, including Caryn (featured in NY POST & NY DAILY NEWS), were invited to the world premiere on January 27th, 2011 at the Sundance Film Festival.
