Life Imitates Art- Google Meets Goldstrom Meets China

In 2005 I wrote the film Press or Say 2 which explored the relationship between China (Communist) and IBM (Capitalist), when Lenovo, a Chinese company, bought IBM’s computer making division. Notice how there’s no more IBM computers around?

The question I explored was: how would a communist company deal with tech support – that supremely capitalist form of customer service?

My imagined result pretty much matched the reality: The Chinese government has hacked into the world’s computers, starting with Google.

Feel free to watch my short film, then read the New York Time’s article!

*Approaching Union Square on the Sundance Channel*

I perform in the feature film APPROACHING UNION SQUARE, which will have its BROADCAST PREMIERE on SUNDANCE CHANNEL this SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8 at 7pm!

The lives of eleven passengers on a New York City bus are revealed in a series of individual monologue vignettes in this debut feature from Marc Meyers. While largely anonymous to each other, the travelers – including a tourist, an immigrant, a sex addict and a psychic – harbor secrets, longings, connections and intriguing inner lives otherwise invisible. Adapted from Meyers’s original stage play Love & Sex: Tales From the Trenches. “A startlingly accomplished debut … smart, confessional, rueful, funny and sad” – Montreal Gazette.
