A Spike Lee Mobile Joint
I certainly wasn't expecting this! Fierce Mobile Content reports about one interesting new deal between Nokia and Spike Lee. Apparently the two are going to collaborate in creating the first feature film based on... user generated mobile content.
"The future of filmmaking is changing and mobile-generated art is fast becoming the next medium for film," Lee said in a prepared statement. "In five years, I believe we will be watching films in movie theaters that have been shot on a mobile phone. Today, with state-of-the-art multimedia devices like what Nokia has to offer, you are seeing firsthand the democratization of film."
5 years? well, that's a bit optimistic. But Hey! it's good to see Spike Lee gets the future of content. Can you imagine Spike Lee directing a full feature film based on MMS though? I just hope this is serious and not a Nokia publicity stunt or evidence of something bad happening to Spike Lee's career.
According to Fierce Mobile contestants can submit content consisting of text, music, video or images in any combination through August 21 at http://www.nokiaproductions.com. The final collaborative film will premiere this fall at Club Nokia in Los Angeles.

I've taken a few minutes and put together my own submission candidate, a collection of Spike Lee user generated clips. Hey Spike Lee! Count me in!
