Why Didn't Anybody Tell Me It Would Become This Bad in Afghanistan (Dutch: Waarom heeft niemand mij verteld dat het zo erg zou worden in Afghanistan) is the first narrative feature film shot with a mobile phone,[1] directed by Cyrus Frisch. As a recording device, Frisch used the Samsung Sharp 902 and Sharp 903 Camera phones resolution with two Megapixels.[2][3] The protagonist of Why Didn't Anybody, an Afghanistan veteran played by Frisch himself, films everyday images on his cell phone while he himself slowly loses his mind.[4]

The film premiered at major film festivals: the International Film Festival Rotterdam 2007 (WP), Tribeca Film Festival 2007 (IP),[5] the San Francisco International Film Festival 2007,[2] Pesaro 2007, and many others.

Directed by Cyrus Frisch and mostly filmed in the Netherlands.
