In the ancient world creatives often produced their work  anonymously. For example, the Altamira cave painters didn’t sign their work. The authorship of Homer is disputed. And writers of many books of the Bible used pseudonyms. Continuing the tradition of the unknown artist, there is no onscreen credit for the skillful filmmaker who gives us the mini-doc “2023 Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta.” We do know something about the project’s origin. According to the folks at Filmic Pro: “We challenged a videographer to capture the visual splendor of the event with only an iPhone 15 Pro and Filmic Pro v7. Challenge accepted!”

The editors of MobileMovieMaking have chosen “2023 Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta” as the Mobile Movie of the Week.
