Wanna Star in the film?

Have you always dreamt of working alongside Johnny Depp? Think you've got the acting skills to outshine Keira Knightley? Well, yeah, keep right on dreaming baby. We're making a documentary, not a Hollywood blockbuster. But we are running a small competition you may be interested in.

You don't need to be obscenely rich to enter. All you have to do is become a Crude investor or make a donation of £500 or more. Everyone who does so will be entered into a prize draw and then one winner will be picked to be immortalised for all time. Or for not very long at all if The Age of Stupid is a total turkey.

If the winner lives in or can low-carbon travel to London, we will arrange to film them ourselves. If they are further away, we'll give detailed instructions for their friend with a camcorder to do so. We haven't decided exactly what they'll be doing yet, but it certainly won't involve any sex scandals and they won't be co-starring with George Clooney. In fact, it probably won't even be a speaking role. But we will sneak a shot of them into the film somewhere. Fancy it?
