Here’s a great story from about mobile phones and film-making from South Africa:
South African director Ayran Kaganof, created the world’s first feature film shot entirely on cell phones. Equipped with eight cell phones, $160,000 Kaganof made SMS Sugar Man over 11 days! The movie tells the story of a pimp and two high-class prostitutes moving around Johannesburg on Christmas Eve.
The film will have its premiere in May will be screened on traditional cinema as well as in a truly innovative fashion – beamed to cell phones in three-minute episodes over a month.
Another amazing thing is that while a Hollywood picture usually cost around $40-$50 million (and easily exceeds $100 million) SMS Sugar Man only costed $160,000 to produce…
Could this be the future of film-making?
