You Can Now Watch Leonardo DiCaprio’s New Climate Change Documentary for Free | No Film School

Global Warming is real and Leonardo DiCaprio is on a mission to prove it. As part of his efforts, he enlisted the help of Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Fisher Stevens of dolphin-nightmareThe Covefame. According to National Geographic, the two traveled across five continents and the Arctic "to gain a deeper understanding of this complex issue and investigate concrete solutions to the most pressing environmental challenge of our time." The result is a film entitled Before the Flood.

The documentary, which was produced by National Geographic and one Martin Scorsese, premiered at TIFF in September to critical acclaim. It is now available for free on a ton of platforms including Hulu, Facebook and the YouTube as part of an effort to get as many people to see it as possible.

Why Did Danny Boyle Shoot ‘28 Years Later’ on an iPhone 15?

Here’s everything we know about the reports of the new ‘28 Years Later’ thriller being shot on an iPhone 15.

Move over, Sean Baker and Steven Soderbergh—Danny Boyle is the latest director to make the bold choice to shoot his latest feature film on an iPhone. Why, you ask? Partly, perhaps, because the team knows it will get them some nice headlines like this one. And partly just because they can.

Still, as is always the case with these smartphone-shot feature films, there’s more to the story than just the headline here. So let’s explore how Danny Boyle and his team were able to shoot 28 Years Later on an iPhone.
