Stormzy has just unveiled a new short film titled “Big Man”, an entire film shot on the iPhone 16 Pro. The film is directed by Oscar-winning director, Aneil Karia, and shot by Stuart Bentley.
Big Man tests the limits of mobile filmography, being entirely shot in Cinematic Mode at 4K/120fps. The 20-minute project stars Stormzy as “Tenzman”, a washed up rapper navigating through a stressful day. Things take an interesting turn when he crosses paths with two hood kids running a scam. Their meeting quickly turns into an impromptu adventure at Brighton Beach.

The film premiered on June 11, marking a new chapter in Apple’s push to position the iPhone as a serious filmmaking tool.
