Want an opportunity to edit your own feature-length movie? Director Bruce McDonald is giving you that chance, as he recently made all the footage from his latest feature film available for download. There is also a contest involved, where you can win a prize pack and have your edited movie appear as bonus content on the DVD edition of the movie, but the catch is that you must be a Canadian resident.

Nevertheless, the footage is available to anyone via Bittorrent and is under a Creative Commons license. Each download package is approximately 4-5GB, and there are 4 packages available for download. Also available is the original score and dialogue script.

This is a great opportunity to work with professionally shot footage and to edit it in your own particular … idiom.
