I just released the open source sci-fi film Jathia's Wager on March 1, and  2 weeks later I'm announcing that we're in production on 2 new full length documentaries.  I want to elaborate on the project more in depth than the video above does.I've been up all night working, so please excuse any typos / spelling issues they'll be corrected soon. - Solomon Rothman writer, director, actor 1rst Documentary Film is tentatively entitled - "Your Computer is Killing You - Side Effects of a Techy Lifestyle". What, Where and When? We are making a full-length, independent documentary that takes a hard look at the side effects of a Techy Lifestyle including repetitive stress injuries (carpal tunnel, blackberry thumb), video game addiction, and other ills of the modern computerized world. We’re going to explore how computers and our high tech society are causing a host of unique problems that will only get worse as the trends continue unless we wake up. We’re talking to injured workers, doctors, ergonomic experts, and your everyday average joe and we’ll share interviews and stories from the “computer athlete” Brian Bentow as we travel around the LA area and the US holding ‘MeetUp’ groups, and talking with everyone from CEO’s and education professionals and generally doing everything we can to bring this issue into the mainstream. We guarantee you’ll learn something, but more importantly it’ll be an adventure into the other side of the modern world and how paying attention to these issues now can save you more than just a little of your hard earned cash, maybe even your life. What stage of production are you in? - We’ve already begun shooting. More will be released as becomes available. For now we’ve setup a separate blog on moviepals.org to track the progress of the film. How can you help? Tell us your story, if you have anything related to RSI, computer related injuries, video game addiction, eye problems from modern devices, carpal tunnel or other wrist / finger issues, obesity, exhaustion, or anything else you believe is relevant to a documentary about the side effects of a techy lifestyle PLEASE e-mail us your story - we’d love to hear from you.
