Movie shot entirely with an iPhone gets US theatre release

The movie Tangerine, which was a hit at Sundance Film Festival, will be making its way to theatres in the US this July. What's unique about the film is how it was shot. It was made entirely with an iPhone 5s and Filmic Pro app. It received rave reviews after its debut in Sundance. A lot of other movies have already been shot using the Apple device but this was the first one to premiere at the festival. If things go well with its release, this could open the door for more iPhone-shot films.
