Calling all Indie mobile phone film makers

The Sundance Film Festival last week acknowledged mobile phone video as a viable film genre with its first pilot project calling for short 3-5 minute clips specifically for the small (really small) screen. Submitted films will be showcased in Barcelona next year at the 3GSM World Congress. Academia have too extended a warm embrace to the emerging mobile video market. In September, Boston University announced the first "mobile-phone movie-making" course in which students explore mobile phone/device filmmaking methodology. Who knows, maybe BU will churn out the lucky winner.
