Grab your cameras! Google is making a film on India and you can be a part of it

On October 10, grab your cameras and film your day! Whether you are socializing with friends, or it’s a boring day in office or maybe it’s your marriage day – just capture it! That’s Google’s message to Indians.

It’s for ‘India in a day’, a film the internet giant is making on the country. As the name suggests, the idea is to show the “story of evolving India” from your lens.

The film will reflect different lives and perspectives of Indians on a particular day, at a time when the country is developing at a rapid pace and undergoing technological advancement like never before such that it has altered the way people have been living their lives.

Fresh and interesting as it sounds, ‘India In a Day’ has equally interesting minds behind it. Presented by Google, the film will be executive produced by Ridley Scott (The Martian director) and Anurag Kashyap, and will be directed by Canadian filmmaker Richie Mehta. Zoya Akhtar, Shekhar Kapur and R Balki are creative consultants for the film.

In a video montage posted on Google India’s YouTube page, the filmmakers have urged Indians to “help them in showing what life in evolving India is”.

“But make sure, whatever you film, it’s personal. It’s your point of view,” is a piece of advice they want to give you.

The most striking and compelling videos will be pieced together in the end to show to the world ‘India In a Day’. And the best bit is, it will be filmed by nobody else, but ‘YOU’!
