A Cell Phone Movie

About This Movie

A Cell Phone Movie is certainly a unique entry in the comedy genre. Will Sterling really leans into the limitations of shooting on a cell phone, which gives the film a raw, almost DIY vibe. The pacing feels loose, almost like a real-time exploration of his character's struggles, which somehow adds to its charm. The humor is often self-referential, poking fun at Hollywood tropes in a way that feels genuine rather than forced. Performances are a mixed bag, as you'd expect from a low-budget effort, but Sterling's earnestness shines through, making it oddly endearing. It's a fascinating look at creativity in constraint, and though it might not be everyone's cup of tea, it’s definitely something to ponder about the future of indie filmmaking.

Shot entirely on a smartphone, embracing DIY aesthetics · Features a semi-autobiographical narrative style · Explores themes of ambition and creative struggle · Released in various formats including digital and Blu-ray
