Filmmaker Spike Lee has linked up with Nokia to direct a movie made with mobile phone footage from everyday people. The film will consist of three acts.

An "assignment" for each act will be announced online and people will then have four weeks to produce their submission.

Nokia will choose 25 submissions, then people can vote online for their favourite for a top 10 from which Lee will then choose the winning submission from each act. Lee will direct the film, which will premiere in LA this year, through the website.
