Youtube, Scott Free and Vue Cinemas have joined forces to release the film LIFE IN A DAY on June 17th and raise money for charities across the UK.

And we want YOU to join us!

JOIN THE CAMPAIGN AND BECOME A MOVIE MOGUL!

LIFE IN A DAY gives you the opportunity to try out your skills as a Movie Mogul and benefit your favorite charity at the same time.

You encourage friends, family and your wider network to book tickets online. Every ticket sold raises money for the charity of your choice. It's that simple!

HOW MUCH CAN I RAISE?

A whopping 25% of every one of those tickets sold goes to your chosen charity.

HOW?

We will set you up a unique "online ticket booth" via www.easyfundraising.org.uk. 25% of every ticket sold via your ticket booth goes to your chosen charity. Easy!

HOW TO BECOME A MICRO MOVIE MOGUL

Promote the film to your friends, family, school and wider social network

We’re busy creating a fantastic website full of fun ways to develop your own Micro Mogul marketing campaign: from a 30 second app that creates a personalized poster to fully downloadable film footage to cut your own trailer mash-ups.

Make as much noise as you can about the campaign. Encourage your Twitter followers or Facebook friends, your school class or your local community group, post flyers through doors, or put your personalised posters in local shop windows...

The sky is the limit!

This was an interesting mix of video clips of people all over the world from all different walks of life. Some videos were better quality than others but they blended together very well overall.

I have to say that the editing of this was brlliant, the montage really does have fluidity and the pacing of the clips seems right. The soundtrack was also terrific and the songs were well matched to the scenes in which they were played.

There were some funny moments, some cringeworthy moments, and some sad moments (especially the man showing his house where 14 people live in one room).

I think this documentary is much better appreciated on the big screen. I don’t think it would have had any impact on me on a computer or television screen so I’m glad I saw it in the cinema.

Inspirational, artistic and eye-opening – this is definitely worth a watch. 7/10.

16 people turned up at Hartlepool to watch this, including 4 children, brought along by their parents.

I found the film very interesting and insightful, and it opened my eyes to how other people live their day-to-day lives. This was a film about ordinary, yet extra-ordinary people, and I found it humbling in many respects. Be thankful for everything we have - our health, happiness, a home, and sufficient food and medicine. We take too much for granted.

The entire concept of this film was ingenious.

7/10 from me.

I really enjoyed this - more than I expected to. The music used really fit the scenes well, I loved the Ellie Goulding song. Worth waking up early for!

I really liked it too, talk about emotional, this film showed all the facets of human emotions and experiences in an earthy everyday kind of way. Had so much admiration for the guy cycling around the world [spoiler]and he never stopped even when he'd been knocked over so many times. The family with the mum recovering from cancer was especially touching.[/spoiler]

The whole film was so real and thats what i loved the most about it.......its all about experience and perspectives.

I'd rate this higher - 8/10 or even 9/10. It was captivating from start to finish. A masterpiece showing the whole range of human emotions and feelings from every corner of the globe. I think it is a film that everyone needs to see. Much better than it sounded on paper and much better than I was expecting. I really enjoyed it. Well put together and perfectly matched with the soundtrack, it was vivid and pacey. Recommend.
