YouTube and Sundance have partnered on various projects in the past, but on Saturday the two are launching what they say is their most ambitious pairing yet.
That’s when their documentary, “Life in a Day,” both begins and ends filming.
“This is a new frontier project,” John Cooper, director of the Sundance Film Festival, told TheWrap. “It’s challenging what story and film can be.”
What has Cooper so enthused is not that the project is being produced by Ridley Scott (“Blade Runner”) and directed by Kevin MacDonald (“The Last King of Scotland”). It’s that neither one of the two big-ticket moviemakers are doing any of the actual filming.
