One of my favorite filmmakers is Michel Gondry, the French director whose work includes "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and tons of cool music videos.

Michel Gondry has now directed a film with David Chappelle!

Then in another craigslist moment, I discovered this ad he posted:

Attention Movie Lovers,

This is your opportunity to be a part of Director Michel Gondry’s (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) imaginative new project that links two-minute segments of your films through character, plot, and themes to create one feature length film.

A message from Michel Gondry,

“Bring to life the characters you always wanted to see on the screen but never had the means. With your own equipment, create the first two minutes of a film that we will all make together. If your film is selected, it will be the first two minutes of a feature film that other participants will continue. But, please be considerate for the others. Create one to four characters with very distinctive looks and features. For instance, a man with a red costume, an old man with a mustache and big glasses, a mother with a crazy wig, etc. For your amusement, those characters will continue to live through other films such as yours. Maybe they’ll die, get fired, married or depressed. So enjoy yourself and don’t fight over who’s holding the camera!”

Michel Gondry,
Director


We are looking for the initial two-minute segment that will start the feature film. Submission that contain original (not owned), identifiable characters with very distinctive looks and features, are a must. Characters should be established in such a way that they can continue to live through other’s installments. Most importantly, enjoy yourself. This is an opportunity to
bring your ideas and characters to the big screen.
