Watch this TED talk - because we're connected to the producers (and some of the people in the movie, too) and we're planning to host a private screening of the movie with a panel of influencers and experts before it's theatrical release (psst - it's going to be an Oscar contender)
Watch Nab's TED talk - that's right - he had one too! And you will note that he's been promoted and his name has changed since that day - and he's now a published author!!!
