iMovie says storage almost full, but it's not.

On my 64 GB iPhone 6 running iOS 8.2, iMovie won't let me create a new project because it thinks "there is almost no space left on this device. You cannot create or edit projects until you free up some space." According to Settings > General > Usage there is actually over 27 GB free. The issue appears to be unique to iMovie. Garageband, for instance, has no trouble letting me create a new project.

What I've already tried:

Restart

Removing derelict apps

Removing all music, photos, videos

Restore from backup

Any thoughts? My inner Fellini is crying to get out.

iPhone 6, iOS 8.2

Updated to add that I have now upgraded from 8.2 to 8.3, with no change.

Have you tried deleting and re-adding the app itself? If there is an issue with the app, restoring the device, then bringing back the back-up will probably bring the issue back with it as well. Try either deleting the app itself, or restoring to factory to test.
