The film, to be directed by Sundance-winner Drake Doremus (Like Crazy), is based on the story of Alex, a young man who wakes up every day with a different appearance.

Behold the world's first crowdsourced movie-poster campaign created through Instagram! It's the pinnacle of creative achievement! Sigh … humankind's obsession with the ubiquitous photo app continues, this time in Canada, where ad agency Taxi teamed with the Instagramers Montreal collective to create 87 posters promoting the new film J'Espère Que Tu Vas Bien, which roughly translates to Instagram Isn't So Great.

The Instagramers walked for 87 minutes, visiting locations used in the film, and submitted more than 600 shots all told.

Flimmer's preliminary homepage includes the tagline "Earn Per View", and local media reports have quoted the company as saying it is "the first film portal where the user is rewarded for paying attention to the trailer".

Robots. Mind control. Mobile games. Social films. Been there, done that. That is, if you're B-Reel. Last year, Ad Age's sibling publication, Creativity, named the Stockholm-headquartered outfit its Digital Production Company of the Year.

Yet B-Reel's output during the past 12 months has proved even more impressive. A small sampling of the work includes a "Minority Report"-style retail interface for telecom provider 3Sweden; a Rube Goldberg-inspired browser puzzle for Honda and Wieden & Kennedy, London; a social-media-created film for Intel/Toshiba via Pereira & O'Dell; and yes, some really great commercials.
