Shield 5: The First Movie On Instagram

Shield 5 is the first movie on Instagram. Instagram, an app for creating and sharing images and videos with others, may seem like an odd medium to release a film, but it's the popular social network that director Anthony Wilcox chose to release his short film Shield 5, which became an overnight online sensation and has more viewers per day.

Shield 5 it is the first movie, published on Instagram. It is a short thriller by a British director Anthony Wilcox, divided into 28 15-second episodes (namely, we can publish up to a maximum of 15-second videos on Instagram). In the film, we follow the driver, the security guard To John Swift (Christian Cooke), a fugitive suspect convicted of stealing a diamond and killing his partner.
