Movie Filmed Entirely with Smartphone and 35mm Lens.

Dear GS Homeslices,

Technology, when used in a practical manner, can be quite the head-turner. Just this morning, as I checked my email, I came across this news clip http://www.japantoday.com/category/arts-culture/view/u-s-director-makes-first-smartphone-movie And the openning reads:

LOS ANGELES —

An independent U.S. filmmaker has made what is believed to be the first feature-length movie shot with a smartphone, to be released next week—with actress Gena Rowlands in the starring role.

"Olive," about "a little girl who transforms the lives of three people without speaking one word," was filmed using only a Nokia N8 cell phone, with a high-resolution camera adapted with a 35 mm lens to give added depth of field.

"Technology is moving so quickly and cellphones are really going to be the thing that does everything eventually," director Hooman Khalili told AFP in an interview ahead of the U.S. theater release of his movie on Dec 16.

Dude filmed an entire movie with a Nokia N8 and a 35mm lens attached. Too freaking sweet. :D

Take Care & Love the Awesomeness
