Welcome to Macintosh

feature length documentary

"Welcome to Macintosh" is a feature length documentary that explores the many ways Apple, Inc. has changed the world. Notable Apple personalities Andy Hertzfeld, co-creator of the original Macintosh, Guy Kawasaki, long time Mac evangelist and Leander Kahney, author of the book "Cult of Mac" offer insight into the company's past, present and future.

The documentary for "the rest of us" has been officially selected to present at the 2008 IngenuityFest: Cleveland as well as the 4th Globians Documentary Film Festival. The documentary made its US premiere earlier this year at the Wisconsin Film Festival in April.

IngenuityFest: Cleveland - July 25th - 27th, 2008

The Ingenuity Festival is a weekend-long celebration of art and high technology, designed for audiences of any age and experience, staged in the center of Downtown Cleveland, Ohio.

The Ingenuity concept pushes boundaries and fosters collaboration between art-based and technology-based initiatives, creating a unique festival experience that draws and celebrates diversity, and involves the audience as both spectator and participant.IngenuityFest: Cleveland Website

Globians World and Culture Film Festival: August 8th - 17th, 2008

This annual international documentary film festival focuses on "world and culture" topics and Globians as a lifestyle: documentaries on a wide array of topics, all in one place - Potsdam Germany.

Founded in 2005, the Globians World and Culture Documentary Film Festival is a ten-day event held in Potsdam, Germany. The Globians website states "Potsdam is fun, pretty much what "Berkeley" is to "San Francisco". With us you have focused and relaxed festival atmosphere with all of the pleasures of "the big city" Berlin, right next door. It's only a 17 minute train ride from Potsdam's main station to Berlin's Bahnhof Zoo and travel time from Berlin to Prague is short." Globians Film Festival Website

The event dates are tentatively scheduled for Saturday July 26th and Sunday July 27th at IngenuityFest, and Tuesday August 12th at Globians. Globians will offer a repeat of the festival September 1st through 8th, with Welcome to Macintosh screening on the 5th.

Both Robert Baca and Josh Rizzo are planning to attend all events (with the exception of the September 5th screening).

Tickets will be available through the festival websites. In addition to the Official Movie Website, the Welcome to Macintosh Network includes exclusive behind the scenes content including photos, videos, discussions.
