SBP Podcast Mobile Filmmaking

Smartphone Filmmaking Simplicity By Award Winner with Narelle Nash Episode 34

One day you are an actor meeting with your agent and auditioning to be cast in a film and the next day, well, maybe you are the director hiring actors including yourself. That’s the reality and opportunity brought to you by the mobile film industry. Narelle Nash won Third Place at the International Mobile Film Festival and her film, The Actor received a nomination for Best Comedy by the Global Mobile Film Awards™ 2018.
Episode 34 of the SBP Podcast: The Voice of Mobile Film™ is a fun conversation with Narelle Nash who is an actor living in Australia. When she heard about making movies with smartphones and that some notable directors were doing it, she decided to jump in and give it a shot. Her story is a comedy about what actors go through auditioning for parts in films. And yes, it’s funny. Narelle attended #MFF2018SanDiego where her film screened and she was able to witness the reaction to her film from the audience in person. To her surprise, she was awarded the Third Place award and she flew home to Australia with her trophy and a nomination in the “Oscars” of mobile film, Global Mobile Film Awards™.
Her award is proof that with a good story idea and some storytelling skills, you can make a film worthy of an award at an international film festival. Her film was selected by a panel of judges. Although people will tell you that you need to have this, or that, for making a good film…well, that’s not always the case. Narelle used an apartment as her location and a wall as a staging area, some laptops and a funny story line with good actors. Oh, and there was the lamp for light. Listen to the story she shares about how they pulled it off. It may inspire you into jumping into making that idea for a story into a mobile film today, instead of waiting to buy equipment. The Actor was her first filmmaking experience. She had some previous experience in theater and acting but she never directed a film before. She shot her film with an iPhone, if you are wondering.
And if you still doubt where mobile filmmaking can lead you, well…once you make a film with your phone and connect with other mobile filmmakers, you will be inspired to keep making mobile films. Don’t be surprised if you hear about her next mobile film for #MFF2019SanDiego.

When A Story Hits Home and Smartphone Filmmaking with Pamela and Anthony Bradley Episode 33

I Don’t Know was the title of their mobile film which screened during the International Mobile Film Festival 2018. Mother and son from San Diego share their story in the Community Stories category during #MFF2018SanDiego about life caring for her Mom who has Alzheimers in episode 33 of the SBP Podcast.
Anthony is an indie filmmaker and has been making films since he was a kid. Pamela attended our Mobile Filmmaking Panel at Comic-Con International San Diego in 2016. She was inspired to make a film using her smartphone and turned to her filmmaker son and shared her idea. Their story is interesting because they are already planning their next mobile film.
I share some tips and tricks with them for their next film during the podcast and they share their experience. They share apps and other mobile filmmaking information from their experience. Anthony named an app for AR storyboarding called Blocker.
Community Stories is a program we created when we began to organize our film festival and we hope more people share stories from within their community or culture using their smartphones to capture it. It’s purpose is to give a voice to the story from within. We discuss the purpose of sharing internal stories and how it can help connect people from different generations, such as kids making films of their grandparents. We believe that by filling the gap between grandparents and grandchildren with stories would benefit relationships and shed a new light on grandparents and the elderly in society.
This podcast is filled with mobile filmmaking information from our guests. The results of our Twitter polling on Android video editing apps is mentioned at the end of the podcast. Submissions for #MFF2019SanDiego are now open.
SBP Podcast: The Voice of Mobile Film™ is for everyone who ever wanted to or is curious about making movies and videos using smartphones.
Watch Pamela and Anthony’s film, I Don’t Know below. We do need to warn viewers that it may be a bit uncomfortable for some audiences. It’s a documentary in the life of someone living with Alzheimer's Disease.

Cinematic Filmmaking with Smartphones with Cristina Isoli Episode 30

A new film shot with OnePlus 5 in 4K is Cristina Isoli’s directorial debut with Avant-Garde Pictures. The production quality, the story and characters, acting, audio, composition and set design; these are some of the virtues of this mobile film which make it one of the best films we have seen this year. The film is called Lightning and tells the story of a an unexpected relationship between an underground musician and a deaf girl with a dream of being an airplane pilot.
The film was shot in London and just completed. It stars Andy Steele & Genevieve Barr and It’s currently not available for public viewing but we had the privilege of seeing it and it blew us away! In only seconds we were captivated by the story and the beauty of the film’s aesthetics and forgot we were watching a film shot with a phone. We provide a link to the trailer but we urge you to stay tuned because we know this film is going to not only win awards, but it will inspire the best of filmmakers to use their smartphones to share great stories in film.
Cristina’s insights into filmmaking and directing are a great value to anyone interested in making films, regardless of the camera. However, her passion for helping our podcast listeners make an exceptional mobile film with their smartphone will keep you listening and get lost in the possibilities of sharing stories through film.
Below is the trailer of her film, Lightning. We also provide a link to the film her partner, Giacomo Mantovani directed and submitted to IMFF 2016, History Lesson. Cristina was the producer for that film.
