Stories are evolving with the way audiences watch. Vertical filmmaking creates a more personal, immersive experience designed for mobile-first viewers and the fast-paced future of entertainment.
What started as social content is becoming a new cinematic language for creators around the world. 🎬📱
The future of film is community driven. From education and networking to red carpet premieres and exclusive behind-the-scenes panels, we’re building a space where film lovers, creators, and industry leaders come together to shape what’s next.
Through filmmaker support, funding pathways, professional development, workshops, mixers, and industry insights, creators get the tools, mentorship, and connections needed to bring their stories to life.

Who’s watching Widow’s Bay?! 🫣🌊
I absolutely love this new show which combines Stephen King like horror with the right amount of comedy.
Plus the cast! 🙌
I mean @thematthewrhys was in my all-time favorite show @theamericansfx and he just keeps giving us one must-see series after another!

Who else is watching?! 😃

*Btw, I liked the Vegas suggestion of how to improve tourism in Widow’s Bay. 🎰💗

A must-watch 🎬📱

The Stunt Double (2020), directed by Damien Chazelle for Apple, proves that vertical storytelling can still feel cinematic, immersive, and action-packed. Shot entirely on an iPhone 11 Pro, the film pays tribute to the stunt performers behind some of cinema’s most iconic moments while reimagining classic genres through a vertical lens.

A perfect example of how vertical film is pushing creative boundaries and redefining modern storytelling.

It’s Showtime alright!! 🍿🎉
@mortalkombatmovie brought the action to theaters this weekend and I loved chatting with the cast.
Including @karlurban & @hellolawson who had a lot of fun in the film & the interview.
Urban brings the iconic #JohnnyCage to the big screen the latest in a long list of classic characters, but which one would he love to invite to a #MortalKombat tournament? 🏟️

Who do you guys think would fare best?
