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.

Dear iPhone fanatics and filmmaking friends, This will be the final post for Hand Held Hollywood. To loyal HHH readers, I’m sure this feels somewhat overdue. Probably because it is.

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!
Xiaomi has just launched Xiaomi Studios. The new “Studio” will highlight an expanding selection of smartphone films in an effort to promote
