Smartphone Filmmaking Podcast Reaches 200 Episodes

Hollywood can spend 75 million dollars to make a movie with an iPhone but many others have made movies with smartphones at a fraction of the cost...and the filmmakers are talking about it on the SBP Podcast Mobile Filmmaking.

The SBP Podcast Mobile Filmmaking is the most undervalued resource for movie makers looking to find out all about making films and videos with smartphones, and it's completely free!

The podcast was created on October 2017 by Susy Botello, founder of San Diego's International Mobile Film Festival (2009). This month marks the seventh anniversary of the podcast.

October first, the 200th episode crossed a milestone for the show.

This special episode brings guests Aaron Nabus and Dhwani Shah together for a captivating and entertaining discussion.

The audio-only podcast features guests and panels centered around current events and topics that narrow the gap between traditional indie filmmakers with indie filmmakers using smartphone cameras.

Most episodes feature a guest interview with a filmmaker who has made films with either iPhones or Android phones. Giving listeners in-depth insights into how they did it.

Guests interviewed have made short and feature films using smartphones. Some topics discussed include cinematography, audio, post production and other topics that apply to mobile filmmaking.

The host is passionate about storytelling and mobile filmmaking. Susy Botello has professional experience working in video production, short, and feature films. She's also taught filmmaking and has a degree in Media Communications.

A few actors are interviewed in the podcast and share their perspectives being on the other side of the smartphone lens. Jed Brophy and Mark Hadlow best known as Nori and Dori of The Hobbit trilogy by Peter Jackson, share their experience as protagonists in Blue Moon, a feature film shot with iPhones in New Zealand. The film is currently available on Amazon Prime.

The mission of the podcast, according to its host Susy Botello, is to inspire more people to make movies and share their stories through film using the most accessible camera in the world: the mobile phone.

In order to connect the concept and inspire the community of mobile filmmakers, Susy interviews independent filmmakers instead of famous filmmakers who are experimenting with iPhones, such as Steven Soderbergh, and the latest, Danny Boyle.

Danny Boyle just completed the production of 28 Years Later. The feature film was entirely shot with iPhone 15 Pro Max with a $75M budget. Which brings mobile filmmaking to the mainstream film industry. The film is scheduled for distribution by Sony Pictures in the summer 2025.

SBP Podcast Mobile Filmmaking: The Voice of Mobile Film™ is for everyone who ever wanted to or is curious about making movies and videos using smartphones.

The podcast is available in almost every podcast app available including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora and others.
