As we continue the big edit for the film experiment we plan to continue releasing podcasts along the way. I hope peeps are enjoying these, it would be great if the podcasts help increase awareness of the film for when it’s finally released. But I will not hold my breath. Any thoughts re podcasting and promoting indie film, feel free to contact me directly. Thanks.
Anyway, here’s the background for this shoot with Steve Wozniak and John Draper. As you may recall, there was a lot of experimentation back in the days before the invention of personal computers with communications networks. Steve (Woz) Wozniak met John (Captain Crunch) Draper during those days. Once we began shooting the conversation turned to the days of experimentation, it was like being there during the blue-boxing and homebrew computer club days listening to them reminisce.
If you’re a geek you probably know something about how this happened, if you’re not you will probably enjoy hearing first-hand what was going on while the ideas for the Mac were germinating in Woz’s head, back before he and Steve Jobs rawked the world with the birth of Apple. IMHO, it’s fascinating to hear about experimentation and the paths ideas travel before they become inventions.
And hey, we didn’t include the entire conversation in this podcast, no sense in spoiling it for you by including the bits going into the film. And a big thanks goes out to not only Steve and John but also Steve’s super cool assistant who with our fellow here sorted the details for this shoot while I was travelling.
