Presented Your Computer is Killing you in Santa Monica on March 16th and in West Hollywood on March 18th at Bloblive We did an interview with the LA Times about BlobLive and mentioned the status of our project. Solomon and I met originally at a BlobLive in Westwood where he presented his idea for Open Source Films. People were very receptive to the idea of the film and said we are definitely on to something. We got lots of great feedback like : Are you guys Luddites? People who are against technology because of our film. Ha! That is definitely not the case! We love computers, video games, and technology. I will do a whole post on this to clear up this issue.
