Lights, Camera, Record? Local film festival seeking short films shot on cellphones
NANAIMO — After taking Instagram and Facebook videos, do you have the itch to use your phone’s camera to its full potential?
The upcoming Hub City Cinefest is looking for one minute short films shot on cellphones for their showcase on the second night of the local film festival.
“The camera on my phone is better than the camera I was shooting movies on when I was 14 and 15. And it’s actually a bit of a challenge to tell a story in a very short time period,” Hub City Film Society executive director Zachary Tannar said.
Tannar said within one minute, people can craft concise, fun movies of any genre, whether it be a horror film building to one intense scare or a comedy escalating to a hilarious punchline.
