At the opening lunch for the 2005 Tribeca Film Festival, Nokia 6682 imaging smartphones were distributed to the festival's four juries, who were each challenged to collaboratively create a short film during the course of festival. "Trapped in the Television" was created by the Narrative Feature jury, which consisted of Darren Aronofsky, Sheryl Crow, Griffin Dunne, Mitch Glazer, Mirsad Purivatra and Francoise Romand.
