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?

It seems like Scoble have nothing better to do over at Microsoft today than inventing a new word (brrreeeport), then tag it and see what happens. BTW, the brrreeeport sounds extremely familiar to a certain bodily sound that Adam Curry happens to let loose in the Daily Source Code on a regular basis like a 30 second spot…sponsored by (oh you know by whoom..). The worst thing is that even I find myself writing a post on it..Is this the sad true state of the blogosphere today, or is it just what makes people tick’?
Looking at the more serious side of it (if there is any..) when I was running a blog campaign for Samsung Mobile’s Anyfilms.net some time ago, I noticed that Google Blog Search by far out numbered Technorati and the others in tracking the posts. Technorati turned out to be really disappointing as a reliable tracking tool (which was a pity since I really like their service). The big surprise however, was MSN Search tracking far more blogs with the tag “anyfilms” than the others (after Google of course).

Mastworld – Ringtone Masala |
Ethnic-themed ringtones are becoming big business. Masttones.com just came out with the first ever ethnic market trends for ringtones. Surprisingly, the top selling ringtones were from Punjabi Bhangra songs and Bollywood films. Four of the top five downloaded ringtones were from albums released by labels with no connection to Bollywood, and three of the top five were Punjabi Bhangra songs. Due to its popularity as dance or party music, Bhangra is often called the hip-hop of South Asia. Now, that is Masala for my ears!
