Doc fans!
The makers of "24 hours on craigslist" have a new project: "Truth in
Numbers: The Wikipedia Story", a documentary chronicling the rise and
controversy behind the world's most popular encyclopedia.
While producer Michael Ferris Gibson ('24 hours on craigslist') and
Oscar-nominated filmmaker Sam Green ('The Weather Underground') helm the
production from San Francisco, you can check out the crew's continuing video
podcasts from the road and other information about the film here:
www.wikidocumentary.org
As Wikipedia is a global phenomenon-- recently becoming one of the top ten
websites in the world-- director Nic Hill ('Piece by Piece') is currently
traveling the planet with the crew of Underdog Productions, interviewing
Wikipedians and experts on free digital knowledge. If you know any
wikiheads he should interview give him a hollar at
nic(a)underdogproductions.com
Best of all, the film's website is actually itself a wiki for the production
(currently hosted at Wikia and maintained by the good folks at Object
Adjective); feel free to contribute ideas, interviewee suggestions,
locations, even your own audio and video to the production! In the spirit
of free information, this is a non-profit project; so take comfort in
knowing that your contributions will go the worthy cause of exploring one of
the most important phenomena of our time!
