July 10th, 2007Blogging the Movie
Just when it seems that there’s been a movie made about everything, the Sneaky Bastard makes public his intentions to film a movie about 10 bloggers.
I’m not sure what it is about this idea, but I have this strange sense of excitement about it. Perhaps it’s because I will actually be able to relate to the people that are chronicled in the documentary, or perhaps it’s because this is the first time I’ve heard of such a film. But then of course, the word “documentary” is enough to get me excited most days alone, regardless of the subject ….
With Paperplane Productions producing the video, Mr. P (a.k.a. Sneaky Bastard) will scour the earth in search of 10 bloggers that blog everyday to ordinary people. These can be the authors behind popular, new, professional, personal, rambing, random, adult, elderly, and niche sites. If there’s a category I missed, that’s okay, because he’s looking for those, too! The key is to have a story that the world will love (or hate) to relate to, and Mr. P will fly to anywhere in the world to let you tell the tale.
At the moment, there is no way we can apply to be a part of the documentary, but if you keep checking his Blogging the Movie site, the instructions will soon be posted. Chances are that a contest will be posted and people will be invited to submit their sites that way.
Personally, I hope it’s a contest where readers vote for the winners. People could post their site, and if visitors think that the site is worth a mention, they give it a point. Not only would this have the potential to save Mr. P countless hours of labor, but it would give the blogging community as a whole the opportunity to play a role in this film about their world.
This has the potential to become one of the biggest contests the blogosphere has ever seen, so stop by and check it out.
