iPhone Cinematography: A Global Shift in Storytelling
iPhone Cinematography is about turning the smartphone into a serious filmmaking tool—whether you're shooting a documentary, a narrative film, or anything in between. What once took a truckload of gear now fits in your pocket.
With over 7 billion smartphones in use, we’re seeing the rise of a new kind of media—one where the power to create is in everyone’s hands. People once shut out by cost, location, or industry gatekeepers can now tell their own stories.
This isn’t just about access. It’s a communication revolution.
Traditional media is fading. People are cutting the cable. Broadcast and cable no longer control the conversation. In their place, a new, decentralized form of storytelling is emerging—faster, more personal, and more democratic.
Films like 28 Years Later (2025), shot on the iPhone 15 Pro Max, are playing in theatres. This is no longer a gimmick—it’s a new chapter in cinema.
Our Facebook group has grown to over 16,500 members worldwide: filmmakers, educators, and creators sharing knowledge, gear, and experience.
I’m Bill Kerrigan, a filmmaker and cinematographer who’s worked in over 40 countries. That global perspective shaped how I see storytelling. Now, I believe smartphones are changing not just how we make films—but who gets to make them.
