Think vertical: how to tell powerful stories in 9:16—and reach today’s audiences where they actually watch.
About this Event

In partnership with Apple Carnegie Library, Verticals, Verticals, Verticals: Filmmaking in a Mobile-First World explores the rise of vertical video content and mobile filmmaking in the modern media landscape. As social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts dominate content consumption, filmmakers must adapt their storytelling techniques for the 9:16 format. Learn about composition strategies specific to vertical framing, how to create compelling narratives within vertical constraints, best practices for shooting on iPhone and mobile devices, and distribution strategies for vertical content. Whether you're a content creator, documentary filmmaker, or narrative storyteller, understanding vertical video is essential for reaching today's audiences. Join us for this special verticals on iPhone seminar specifically tailored to DCIFF filmmakers.

This is a FREE seminar.
