A Mobile Call to Filmmakers

Catch your favorite movie moments on your cell phone? According to the Feature, this is a coming thing along with a swarm of small movie festivals designed just for your cell phone.

I must admit that this seems sort of silly to me personally. Yet, it does maintain a small level of interest that will undoubtly push me into watching these little movie clips anyway.

What are the best options for mobile media artists to showcase their work? In recent weeks, there’s been a flurry of activity around mobile phone film festivals and even a new mobile channel devoted to indy filmmakers.

Atlanta-based Zoie Films has partnered with Tin Can Mobile and Nokia to present a selection of one to five minute works in a new “Cellular Cinema Festival.” Interestingly, they’re not encouraging filmmakers to develop new works for the media, but rather to “dig deep into your film archives and re-edit features, shorts animations, documentaries and digital content.”
