“The main thing about mobile filmmaking is that if your story can be filmed on big camera, use it. A smartphone is, in the first place, a tool and may not be a good match for each and every story. But if your message is more about yourself and what’s going on around you, then your mobile phone camera can fit perfectly. Our workshop is for those who want to speak the language of the reality around us. Aliens, robots, superheroes, vampires… leave them up to Hollywood because that’s what Hollywood is about. So grab your smartphone and go ahead”. Boris Gouts
