In Life in a Day, Oscar(r) winning director Kevin Macdonald has crafted, in collaboration with YouTube, Ridley Scott and a world wide pool of contributors numbering in the thousands, a portrait of one day (July 24th, 2010 to be precise) in the life of planet Earth.

I spoke with Kevin last week about the influences on the project, the huge scale of the undertaking and the impact of technology on contemporary viewers and filmmaking.

Life in a Day opens in the UK  on Friday July 17th.

I've worked in entertainment product development and sales & marketing in the U.S., UK and my native Canada for over 20 years, and have been a part of many changes during that time (I've overseen home entertainment releases on VHS, LaserDisc, DVD and Blu-ray). I've also written and commentated about film and music for many outlets over the years. The first film I saw in the cinema was Mary Poppins, some time in the mid-60s: I was hooked. My love of the moving image remains as strong as ever.
