Robert Redford plans on bringing indie films to the very small screen — specifically cell phones all over the world.
In a new experiment starting in February 2007, the Sundance Institute will release five short films it has commissioned to any and every cell phone that can play them.
“The goal is, if this all works out after we launch this, more people in the world will see these films than any form of cinema,” Redford said, when launching the Global Short Films Project today in New York.
“People on subways, people on buses, people traveling, people waiting, or people taking a break and they just have a 15-minute break and they want to amuse themselves or catch up with something,” he said.
