SOCIAL MEDIA UPDATES

We’ll soon announce a change to our feature film competition rules and criteria.

In 2016, IMFF shared VR 3D videos with attendees with our friends at Passage Productions. We also introduced our Feature Film Competition, leveling up making movies with smartphone cameras for the indie filmmakers around the world. This year, we have a change in the rules for feature film competition. Stay tuned!

Your Story Shapes You is the latest by Smartphone Filmmaking on Susy Botello’s Substack publication. Read the story.

Community Stories is a program that launched almost concurrently with our film festival. We launched this program in July 2009. The program was the first category in the festival. Now it’s a stand-alone program included in the festival when appropriate. The concept is that stories told from within a community or culture are the most powerful. Read more.

We Are On Social Media

There so many social media platforms to stay in touch with! Gone are the days where you only needed to maintain a few main platforms. These are the days where algorithms and paying to be protected from spam and hackers on social media platforms are becoming a reality.

Platforms are currently limiting content creators’ reach with their community by making it harder to see each other.

Hi there! I’m Susy Botello, founder and director of the International Mobile Film Festival, I host the SBP Podcast and run workshops on mobile filmmaking and storytelling.

You can learn a bit about me here with some history. But to put it in a nutshell…well, I’m passionate about my work and I care about you, and our community of storytellers and filmmakers. My passion has only grown, and is ever-so more apparent than ever, since the Spring of 2009, when I launched our film festival.
