The tools for making good movies and telling important personal stories are getting cheaper and cheaper.  I found this via the Rocky Mountain News:

Mike Potter racked his brain for weeks for the perfect idea. The
Broomfield native’s college was holding a contest for movies shot
entirely on cell phones.

The film could only last 30 seconds. And with such a small screen
and such challenging video and sound quality inherent in the medium,
Potter knew he needed his segment to capture a beautiful moment that
was larger than life.

He found his subjects one evening at dinner, in the form of his
grandmother and grandfather, who were seated across from him. Something
about the way they interacted felt priceless.

Potter’s film, Cheat, stars his grandparents. This week, it won the $5,000 grand prize in Ithaca College’s first CellFlix Festival.

From further down the article: 

All it cost him to produce was the $100 he paid for the phone.

One judge called the film "Fantastic. Timeless. Inspiring. Contagious. Lovable. Effective. Visual economy at its best."

And while the film convinces viewers that it’s about a game the
elderly couple really plays, it’s actually something Potter made up,
based on the playful way he’d seen his grandparents interact.

    The film’s quite good.  Well worth the $5,000 prize.  The other finalists are interesting, too.
