Fade In To Film

Bringing Indie Filmmaking Topics affecting smartphone and independent filmmakers, to bridge the gap between indie and mobile.

S. Botello Productions™ (based in San Diego, California) has initiated a new program bridging the mobile and indie film communities with ongoing discussions presented by the SBP Podcast Mobile Filmmaking, hosted by Susy Botello.

Fade In To Film completed one full year of panel discussions as of July 2024. Our first episode was published July 18, 2023 with several recurring panelists.

Moving forward, FITF is re-establishing itself as a topics based discussion between host Susy Botello and Joey Min, with occasional guests. We continue our quest to bridge the gap between indie filmmakers and smartphone/mobile filmmakers on a positive light.

FITF discusses topics of interest to indie and smartphone filmmakers, discussing topics that affect and pertain to the community.

As the host of the podcast, IMFF founder Susy Botello asked Joey Min to join her every other week to discuss topics of interest which narrow the gap between mobile filmmakers and indie filmmakers, because they are really one and the same. The difference is the wide and diverse level of expertise that exists in smartphone filmmaking. There are professionals and novices making movies with smartphones. They inspire one another.
