Xavier Satorra’s “Calling Soon” has won the “Best Web Series Trailer” at this year’s International Movie Trailer Festival (IMTF). The achievement is notable because “Calling Soon” is a mobile-shot movie trailer. Most of the other entrants in the web series category were shot using conventional cameras.
IMTF also held a competition exclusively for trailers shot using mobile devices. The winner in that category was Tristan Pope’s “Romance in NYC.”
Launched in 2010, the International Movie Trailer Festival showcases indie trailers from around the world. In 2012, the Festival ran a contest just for mobile-shot movie trailers. That contest led to the development of MobileMovieMaking magazine.
