The event runs as part of the MoJoCon mobile journalism conference taking place in Galway and running from May 4th-6th.
Smartphone Filmmakers is one of six MoJoCon fringe events and will look at the possibilities for filmmakers to create content solely on a smartphone.
It will look at the panel's experiences of using the iPhone to produce work, both TV drama and documentary, the pros and cons around using the iPhone in this way and where it’s all heading into the future.
The panel will be chaired by Paddy Hayes of Magamedia, the Irish talent taking part in the EAVE Producers Workshop 2017.
