I don’t quite get how this qualifies as a Film and not some sort of game, but I will definitely grant that it is a complete first, especially for a festival entry. Murder on Beacon Hill, and application based around 43 minutes of video premiered at Boston’s International Film Festival. Viewers experience the film as they walk around a planned route around Boston’s Beacon Hill neighborhood.

While film is iPhone based, it played in the Film Fest as regular film, where Festival director, Patrick Jerome, said “We were just blown away at how watchable the story is in a theatrical setting.”

The film was developed by Untravel Media and is the first in a series of Walking Cinema apps the company has planned.
