MTV and Nokia are partnering for a documentary about the 2008 Cannes Young Lion Film Competition. 26 teams from all over the world will be followed; the four that get top views on YouTube will be featured in the documentary.

Get a glimpse of Team USA. Then do yourself a favour and close the window at 1:00 or so, because 6:20 is a loooooong time unless you’re friends with these guys, or their moms.

What ruined it for me was that feeble Spartans leotard action at the beginning. “Hey, guys, come on. I didn’t agree to wear this, even though I’m wearing it. You cheated. I win. Grumble grumble.”
