About the Project
Help fund our iPhone film. A collaboration between Philip Bloom and Deltree, "I'm Going Home" is the first narrative short story on an iPhone using cinematic techniques. Our hope is to inspire a new filmmakers around the world with what's possible- in their pockets.

About the Film
"I'm Going Home" is a short film that explores one man's accidental discovery of the city he loves.
Film is slated to be shot on location in NYC mid -July. The film was written by Nathan Scott, co-directed by Philip Bloom ("Red Tails", "People of" series) and Reece Brothers ("Fifty People, One Question")

About the Production
Since the iPhone 4 launch, our team has devised a way to mount the iPhone 4 to rails, allowing us to take steadicam, dolly, and glider shots. It also allows us a level of control of exposure and white balance with the use of ND filters and gels. To see some of the test shots we have taken, see the trailer above. For more information, see Philip Bloom's blog post.

Back in 08′ I made a short film (with Tung.ly) called Fifty People, One Question: New Orleans. It went viral and in early 2009, with the encouragement and help of a friend, I quit my job, left my old life. Now I produce films and craft experiences at our company, Deltree. We have done work for global brands on locations around the world. You should check out our website at http://thedeltree.com
