We at Firefight Films are excited to tell you about our new project Roaming, the world's first ever documentary mini-series shot entirely on the iPhone 6 Plus. Roaming will be a six-part nature documentary unlike any other. Each of the six 10-15 minute episodes will be released for free online. We've just launched our Kickstarter campaign and we need your help spreading the word about our project.

We've done some big projects before. Our Bigger Than Life — Ice Caves video received international attention, but even that pales in comparison to what we have in store for this project.
The iPhone is democratizing filmmaking by putting an extremely powerful camera into the hands of the average person. iPhones are already the most popular camera in the world, but many people still haven't realized its true potential for filmmaking. That's why we want to not only film this entire project on the iPhone 6 Plus to show people what can be done, but we're also creating an extensive 'Making Of' to show people how we did it.
One of the coolest aspects of Roaming will be the music. Roaming will be the first documentary to have music composed entirely by a computer. An unbelievable and controversial computer program named Emily Howell created by renowned composer, author and scientist David Cope. We also have one of the world's best narrators onboard, James Gillies. The Kickstarter will give us the funds we need to make this one of the most beautiful and innovative documentaries ever made. We plan on making an ROV cinema submarine to get incredible underwater shots, experimenting with new and unique third party iPhone accessories, paying for helicopter time, shooting with drone mounted iPhones and much more.
Help us create film history.
