Mobile, smartphone and pocket filmmaking is a global phenomenon with 
distinctive
festivals, filmmakers and creatives that are defining an original film 
form. Smartphone
Filmmaking: Theory and Practice explores the diverse approaches towards 
smartphone
filmmaking and provides an overview of the international smartphone 
filmmaking
community. The interviews with smartphone filmmakers, entrepreneurs, 
creative
technologists, storytellers, educators and smartphone film festival 
directors provide a
source of inspiration and insights for professionals, emerging 
filmmakers and rookies who
would like to join this creative community.
While not every story might be appropriate to be realized with a mobile 
device or
smartphone, if working with communities, capturing locations or working 
in the domain
of personal or first-person filmmaking, the smartphone or mobile device 
should be
considered as the camera of choice. The mobile specificity is expressed 
through
accessibility, mobility and its intimate and immediate qualities. These 
smartphone
filmmaking-specific characteristics and personal forms of crafting 
experiences contribute
to a formation of new storytelling approaches. Stylistic developments of 
vertical video and
collaborative processes in smartphone filmmaking are evolving into 
hybrid formats that
resonate in other film forms.
This book not only develops a framework for the analysis of smartphone 
filmmaking but also
reviews the contemporary scholarship and directions within the creative 
arts and the creative
industries. Smartphone Filmmaking: Theory and Practice initiates a 
conversation on current
trends and discusses its impact on adjacent disciplines and recent 
developments in emerging
media and screen production, such as Mobile XR (extended reality).

‘Max Schleser’s book exceeds the “how to”, placing smartphone filmmaking 
in an original framework,
but linking it too to innovative and experimental film traditions.
He draws on pioneers, theorists, innovators, artists, programmers and 
technologists offering up
a fascinating look at a transformations in filmmaking.’
