Ridley Scott has his work cut out for him.
Or, rather, the director's production company, Scott Free, is the one facing the daunting task of cataloging and sorting through some 80,000 video submissions from around the world. The submissions, which were uploaded to YouTube between July 24 and July 31, will be used to compile a documentary film called "Life in a Day," which is due to premiere at next January's Sundance Film Festival.
According to a press release, the project — which asked people to upload moments from their lives taking place on a single day, July 24 — received 80,000 submissions from 197 countries, in 45 different languages.
