Nokia run the Nokia MiniMO awards so a UK students making movies on their mobiles can  win a trip to Cannes. It appears and it appears to close to be purely a coincidental that a student from John Moores University, Liverpool has submitted a film for the awards which is a complete rip off of the one displayed below.

The John Moores student entry for Minimo awards - Entitled Forrest Chump - won the Critics Choice award. The Critic James Mullighan ShootingPeople.org’s Creative Director, said of it.

The winner truly captured the spirit of the intiative – having fun, even poking fun at the film that inspired it; busily and cleverly cramming as much narrative in as possible; and generally demonstrating that the limitations of a mobile device need be no impediment to making something complex and sophisticated.

    “I Have a Bad Feeling About This” is a quirky, upbeat, buddy-comedy/Sci-Fi adventure. The story follows the exploits of Andy and Sam, two Star Wars-obsessed slackers in their early twenties, living in the suburbs of Liverpool. Sam is soon to be leaving Andy to go to university, but before they part ways for good, Andy and Sam must embark on a journey to the furthest reaches of town, to try and find a pair of tickets to a one-off showing of the original Star Wars trilogy. Along the way they meet dodgy ticket touts, angry yoga instructors, deranged thieves, clueless police, the suburban mafia and a dangerous Lightsaber-wielding madman. say YET because I certainly hope it is made as it looks fantastic. The Films premise is.... “Not that long ago.

Some of the new platforms debuted at South by South West may help answer that question or do they just muddy the waters more.
