Tangerine got me blown away, I literally can’t imagine how he filmed it. The cast, the script, the editing, everything is so precise, just awesome. I can’t imagine how he made non-actors act both that natural and that professional, like pro actors. I loved every bit of this movie, every scene.

This is the only movie I watched by Sean Baker, and his utilization of iPhone for cinematography blew me away. It’s genuinely inspiring, showcasing the possibility of film in a new era.

seeing sean baker improve over his career is so incredible. not only from a technical standpoint but as a filmmaker as a whole. no one deserves that Palm d’Or more than Mr Baker

[richardowens]

Tangerine makes clear that the tools you use are nowhere near as important as your talent in using them.

Thanks, for this excellent interview and insight into making a high quality low budget film!

[CannibalWHORE]

Sean Baker is really relaxing to listen too.

This is a fantastic interview! The Florida Project his latest film is magnificent. I think Sean is a major voice in filmmaking and what movies can be and the real glimpse of life they can show... Watching his work makes you WANT to shoot!

[FRANKTV]

Brilliant questions (as you can tell especially when he keeps saying "I've never been asked this before").

[transunicorn]

OMG, legendary director. Thank you for this interview!

[heidiankers]

Such a pleasure to know you're in the hands of a great interviewer interviewing a great artist.

Great video.

We can't wait to see Tangerine. Hope it inspires young people to a) tell unusual, untold and unseen stories and b) use the materials and equipment they have at their disposal to do so.

your films are not buried friend. Theyre there to come back to or discover for new people always.Eagerly awaiting your next film. June 2021!!!

I know this is a video from many years ago, but I recently shot a full-length feature film on an old LG v40 phone, and my inspiration was Sean Baker and Tangerine. And so if Sean ever reads this, thank you for raising the bar for what can be done when you don't have millions of dollars. When the only thing you have access to is what's in your pocket.

Great interview! Thank you very much for sharing. I feel that his advice is much more usefull to me than advices from big studio directors because he is doing work much closer (budgetwise) to what most of us are doing.

[StevenOsburnHollywood]

Great interview with Sean. Those who boldly go where others have never gone. Hope everyone shoots a great iPhone movie now!

[ArmandoJacox]

Really great to know shooting a feature on an older iPhone is a viable solution to budget constraints

[DesmoDreams]

Fascinating interview, and great questions.
