Bento is ready for iPad

Earlier this week, MacRumors reported that Bento, the much-loved database app, will be making its way to the iPad platform. If you’re like me, that’s spectacular news! I rely on the iPhone version of Bento, and maintain databases for Projects, Crew, Equipment, Locations, and Casting. Like Bento for the iPhone, the iPad version will operate as a stand-alone database manager, but it can also sync beautifully with the Mac version.

Shang-Chi Director Directed From His iPhone

I enjoyed reading this brief ScreenRant story, so I thought I’d share it here. It describes how Destin Daniel Cretton, the director of Marvel’s Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings, was forced to direct an important scene via his iPhone while in the hospital for the birth of his child! Sadly, it doesn’t divulge the details of that unusual workflow, but it’s an excellent reminder that we’re all toting the world’s most versatile piece of filmmaking gear in our pockets and purses!
