• Fade In To Film: Community and Smartphone Film Connect 2025

  Episode 211: This episode was recorded January 29, 2025 and published February 4, 2025. This is our first episode of the new year 2025! Erica “ET” Taylor is our featured guest in this episode of the Fade In To Film series. I’m stoked to have ET back again for this episode. ET is teaching film appreciation and other filmmaking topics at a new university. We discuss ET’s work teaching film at the university where she is, in Texas. She’s bringing guest speakers to her classes, like protagonist Shellsy Malveaux from her short film, “Coming Home” shot with her iPhone 13 Pro Max. ET’s also reaching out to smartphone filmmakers she met during IMFF 2023, to her classes to inspire her students to make films. We discuss multimedia and ways you can bring one of your older films shot with older smartphone models back to life in 2025. We discuss topics like how filmmakers can publish printed books that play your videos—yes, you can do it now. I appreciate you and the mobile filmmaking community for listening and sharing the podcast. Thank you! Fade In To Film is a series by the SBP Podcast, where we discuss topics and events of interest to indie and mobile filmmakers. http://fadeintofilm.com Joey Min has been extremely busy and we congratulate his success in the industry! He’ll be a featured guest occasionally, along with past and new guests to Fade In To Film.

• Part Two: Looking Forward to Smartphone Filmmaking in 2025 with Miguel Lopez de Leon

  Episode 210: This episode was recorded December 21, 2024 and published December 31, 2024. New Year's Eve. Part Two of a two part series with our guest, Miguel Lopez de Leon. In part one we share who Miguel is, his passion for storytelling and his newfound challenge in mobile filmmaking. Join Miguel and myself now in part two as we discuss AI: Generating and automating as an artist, the film “28 Years Later” shot with iPhone cameras, mobile film gear in the earliest days, social media and video progress; and among other things, our mobile filmmaking community with the International Mobile Film Festival in San Diego. Miguel was one of the attending filmmakers at this year’s 13th International Mobile Film Festival in San Diego last April. His short mobile film “Ghost Leave” had the audience laughing and loving it! He’s planning to attend the 2025 edition April 25-27.  Miguel’s making a feature film and is looking for crew in L.A., if you’re interested. Thank you for listening to the podcast.

• Fade In To Film: Movie Set Tips for First Timers

  Episode 208: This episode was recorded December 14, 2024 and published December 17, 2024. First of all, we wish all of you the best during this holiday season.  In this episode of our Fade In To Film series, Joey Min and I team up to share some good tips and a few things we learned about what to do, and what not to do, on set of an independent film; and we’ll adapt some traditional on-set etiquette to smartphone filmmaking. We also tackle the role of the gaffer on set, versus the grip; and if you will ever need one on set for a mobile film. We begin with drones in New Jersey because that’s where Joey is, and it’s interesting.
