I'm a big movie fan. I'm one of those people who can watch the same movie over, and over and over again. Much like many people listen to music. The UK Mail Online has a fascinating story today about the documentary 'Searching For Sugar Man'. The movie itself is fantastic and I highly recommend it if you like touching, quirky stories.

What's so interesting about the making of the movie, and the reason I'm writing about it on a blog focused on technology, is the behind the scenes story about the filmmaker's financial struggle and how they overcame it.

Let's just say, if it wasn't for the existence of an iOS app called 8mm Vintage Camera, the film might not have been finished.

It's more true now than ever. While the tools keep getting better and better, there's no substitute for talent. That's proven by these talented men who produced an Academy Award nominated film, in part, with their phones.
