    Mike and Sony Ericsson are inviting anyone who wants to showcase their life to submit a storyboard consisting of five mobile phone snapshots by visiting www.sonyericsson.com/lifecapturedcompetition and uploading a storyboard of images.

    National winners from 21 participating countries across Europe, the Middle East and Africa will be chosen and briefed by Mike Figgis to shoot their part of the new "Life Captured" film with the C902 Cyber-Shot.

    Internationally-renowned Mike Figgis is best-known for his experimental and ground-breaking techniques in filmmaking, which have seen him win seven sought-after film awards and nominations for 14 others including two Oscars for Leaving Las Vegas. "Life Captured" is set to be no exception; from content, to score, to production and beyond, the final cut will be a first of its kind.

    "Life Captured" will premiere at the 16th Raindance Film Festival in London on 2 October 2008. And the five Outstanding Achievers from "Life Captured" with Sony Ericsson, selected from the top 21 around the world, will be there to join in the party.
