Rashmi Bansal, Editor and Publisher of a youth magazine called JAM – Just Another Magazine blogs about how mobile phone technology can change the business of film-making.

Nokia is airing a commercial which focuses on how mobile technologies can potentially change film-making. The url www.mobifilms.net appears at the bottom of the screen.

Take a look at JAM TV

At JAM, we use a 2 megapixel camera phone to make short films which are hosted on our website. The section is called JAM TV. We’ve even had a ‘hit’ – our Rabbi Shergill film has been downloaded over 7000 times.

She has some neat ideas too

Today phone providers offer restaurant listings. What if u could actually view a 1 minute video of the restaurant – see what it’s like? You might pay 5 bucks to see such a film, before spending 500 bucks there.

The possibilities, really, are endless. ‘Interestingly shot’ and ‘nominally priced’ would be the two key factors in success.
