Nokia presents ‘The Commuter’, a funny short film, starring “Slumdog Millionaire” Dev Patel with a cameo by Pam Anderson. Beside the stellar cast, the other thing that’s intriguing about the flick is the fact it’s shot exclusively on the Nokia N8.

‘The Commuter’ is yet another proof of the Nokia N8 camcorder skills. It was shot entirely in mobile HD, in just four days on the new Nokia N8 smartphone, with the streets of London and St Albans providing the backdrop to Nokia’s story about one commuter’s eventful journey to work. The film premiered at an exclusive screening in London on Monday.

‘The Commuter’ takes a relatively new concept in filmmaking to the next level because the mobile phone was pivotal to this huge production as there were no back up cameras used, everything in the film had to be shot using the Nokia N8.

It was one of the first times that such a host of Hollywood talent has come together to shoot a film just on a mobile phone.

Dev said:

“I’m always interested in embracing new technology in film making and the main reason I really wanted to get involved with ‘The Commuter’ was because it was being shot just on mobile phones. I wanted to encourage the next generation of filmmakers by showing that you don’t need expensive equipment and big budgets to make your own movies.”

This clip means is very telling to many industries and will continue to revolutionize the advertising, filmmaking, celebrity and marketing industries.

‘The Commuter’ has opened up for public viewing today.
