Hollywood & Vines: Airbnb's creating a short film from your Vine videos

Airbnb, the popular online stay recommendation and rental site, has something interesting coming up for smartphone owners across the globe. The website is creating Hollywood & Vines, a first-of-its-kind short film made entirely of Vine videos. The catch here is that they want you to help them accomplish it, and for that you will have to first get the Vine app for your smartphone. Once you’ve got the app on your device, the next step is to follow @Airbnb on Twitter.
