SEOUL, Jan. 11 (UPI) -- South Korean director Park Chan-wook said he has completed a 30-minute film shot entirely on the video camera of an Apple iPhone 4.

Park, director of the hit film "Oldboy," said the new film, "Night Fishing," was shot using only an iPhone and took 10 days to complete with a crew of 80 people, South Korea JoongAng Daily reported Monday.

The director said the film, which depicts the story of a fisherman and a female shaman, will be released to a limited amount of theaters in the coming weeks.

"This is a great example of how companies that haven't been involved in movies are cooperating with artists," Park said. "Now aspiring directors and those with small budgets will be given a chance to create high quality movies with just an iPhone on one-hundredth of the costs for a normal movie."
