Olive: the first feature film shot entirely on a Nokia N8

Olive is the first full length feature film shot entirely on a Nokia N8 smart phone. Phone directors Hooman Khalili and Patrick Gilles fabricated a 35mm lens adapter for the N8 in order to achieve a shallow depth of field.

The film stars two time Academy Award nominated actress Gena Rowlands of The Notebook as well as John Scurti, Chris Maher, and Ruby Alexander. And the sound design was created by the Skywalker Sound a George Lucas-owned studio.

The goal now for the authors of the projects is to be the first film to not only be shot on a smartphone but to also be the first independently financed feature film on 2,000+ theaters across the United States without the backing of a Major Studio.
