Rian Johnson Shot on the iPhone 11: Watch His Footage and Read His Review | No Film School

Cult of Mac reported that Rian Johnson had shot some footage in Paris, and we're happy to share it here as a taste of what video looking like coming off the iPhone 11 pro. Granted it's a quick series of shots from around Paris (always a great subject...) and his 'review' is a tweet. But hey! It's something!

\u201cApple let me mess around with their new iphone pro, and I cut together this little thing. Pretty shots of Paris ftw. I usually find phone camera upgrades to be baby-steps and not very exciting, but this wide angle lens is a real game changer.\nhttps://t.co/Pg98d5nI9N\u201d

No word yet on if Johnson's stand-alone Star Wars movies will be shot on the iPhone or not. We're sure fans would LOVE that.

In any case, it's exciting to see what people can do with this phone and its many lenses. We'll keep you posted as we see more footage from more folks who get their hands on it.

Mark Duplass Has Some Thoughts on Sundance Acceptance

Mark Duplass Share His Thoughts on Sundance Acceptance

The Calvary King delivers a hopeful message to filmmakers who didn't get into Sundance.

Mark Duplass has always been a filmmaker's filmmaker. He famously delivered his "The Cavalry is Not Coming" speech at SXSW as a call to action for independent filmmakers to stop waiting and start shooting. Duplass also historically creates and works on small-budget indie projects, including being a key member of the lo-fi, bare-bones mumblecore movement. He's also a charismatic actor who brings a relatable ethos to every role he plays—not to mention seems like an overall cool dude.

We love Mark Duplass.

All the above considered, it's no surprise to see Duplass take to social media with an encouraging statement following the recently announced 2025 Sundance lineup this past Wednesday. Duplass, hot off positive reviews for the recently released The Creep Tapes on Shudder, warmly comforted filmmakers that if you happened to apply to Sundance and weren't selected, hey, that's okay. They curate 15,775. It happens.

We all know rejection sucks, but don't sweat it. Be proud of your project no matter what. And watch Mark Duplass's full snippet of encouraging wisdom below.
