First movie shot on cell phones
From my friend Micki Krimmel at WorldChanging: Early this year, production wrapped on the first feature film to be shot entirely with cell phone cameras. Directed by South African filmmaker, Aryan Kaganof, “SMS Sugar Man” is the story of a pimp and two high class prostitutes driving around Johannesburg on Christmas Eve. It was shot for less than 1 million rand ($164,000) in just twelve days.
Also see some brief discussion on Metafilter. Thanks to Adam Fields for the pointer.
