Celli-wood
According to Sky News, budding film-makers have found a new way to break into the cut-throat entertainment industry - via the small screen on mobile phones.
"More and more movie-buffs are creating videos for the ubiquitous devices, with the three to five minute films being produced for people on the go. The mobile movie mania is already being dubbed 'Celli-wood' in the US.
Charles Golvin from the Forrester market research company, says while only about four per cent of subscribers in the US presently watch some form of video on their mobile, the idea is about to take off."
