Welcome to Macintosh
(USA, 2007, 89 mins)
digital video
World Premiere
Directed By: Robert Baca,
Joshua Rizzo
Notice that the title is not “Welcome to Apple.” Sure, the word “iPod” is mentioned somewhere, but this is really about the early years of that upstart startup. The engineers and developers talk about designing the early machines and making headway in a new industry. There are a lot of great stories here and an almost fetishized infatuation for the vintage objects themselves. But who wouldn’t love the Apple I, basically a circuit board for which the user to build their own case? It’s probably polite to suggest that this film is really great for general audiences, come one come all, but it’s really not. It’s for hardcore Mac Addicts: do you still have an old Mac stashed in the back of your closet, because you can’t bear to throw it out? Yeah, I thought so. Get a ticket.
Robert Baca (co-director) and Joshua Rizzo (co-director) scheduled to attend.
