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
