Fade In To Film: Apple TV Plus and iPhones and Self Distribution

Episode 185 is our bi-weekly panel discussion. This episode was recorded June 12, 2024 and published June 18.
Apple sells iPhones they claim to have the best filmmaking cameras. They also claim to have the best streaming service, Apple TV+. Netflix and other streaming services who don’t sell smartphones, stream feature films shot with iPhones, but not Apple. I ask our panelists to discuss this and self distribution options for independent filmmakers.
