If you’ve read my book (you’ve ready my book, haven’t you?), than you likely remember Jesse Rosten — a gifted filmmaker who once used 9 iPad screens to light a photo shoot! He’s also the guy who directed the much-loved Fotoshop by Adobé. Well, Jesse has just released a new video, and it ties in quite nicely to all the recent iOS 7 hoopla. No spoilers here. Just sit back, click play, and enjoy the film’s subtle message.

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