I'm not expecting many people here to have heard of this, but surely some people will have.
About five years ago, BMW gave a load of money (like £20 million) to about eight big Hollywood directors, such as Tony Scott and Guy Ritchie. They were told to make a short film each about a driver (played by Clive Owen). The only rule was that he had to drive a BMW car. Each film is about eight minutes long, but they're all really good. They have loads of big name stars; Clive Owen, Gary Oldman, James Brown, Madonna etc. The films were then emailed out to a few people, who then emailed them on. Within a year over 300 million people had seen at least one of the films. They became a big cult thing pretty quick and they're now all available on DVD.
I've only seen Beat The Devil and Star and they were very good. I've been looking for the DVD but I can only find it on the internet.
