Google has partnered with The Martian director Ridley Scott, Indian director Anurag Kashyap (Gangs of Wasseypur) and Canada-based Indian director Richie Mehta (Siddharth) on user-generated documentary India in a Day.
The project will be the sixth installment of the series that began in 2011 with Life in a Day directed by Kevin McDonald (The Last King of Scotland), which debuted at Sundance. The films in the series have typically seen theatrical and multi-platform releases, including streaming on Google-owned YouTube.
India in a Day will aim to capture a day in the life of the world's largest democracy on Oct. 10. The project invites participants to grab any camera, including on smartphones, to film whatever catches their fancy to help showcase ?the story of evolving India," according to Google India marketing director Sandeep Menon.
