Halloween was coming. Ryan Camp wanted to post something appropriate on his YouTube channel. Like most of us, Ryan had experienced the shock of  being awakened in the middle of the night. Combining that memory with a couple of props bought on eBay (for $50), he and his wife produced “2AM.” This retro horror picture, was shot on an iPhone 12 Pro Max using FiLMiC Pro. and a Moondog Labs anamorphic lens. The entire project, completed in just two days, presented numerous challenges. How Ryan met those challenges is covered in a practical behind-the-scenes video: “How to Make A No-Budget Horror Short Film with iPhone.”
