Truth in Numbers – The Wikipedia Story will be the first film to extensively and exclusively cover the phenomenon and global implications of Wikipedia as well as have comprehensive access to Wikipedia co-founder, Jimmy Wales, and the Wikimedia Foundation.[1][2]
The film is an independent American documentary film being produced by by Nic Hill, Scott Glosserman, and Glen Echo Entertainment in association with Underdog Pictures. The sales representative of the project is Endeavor Talent Agency and the music supervisor is Hit the Ground Running.
Synopsis
The film primarily explores the unique human skill of communication and how it has evolved. It looks at the recording of history and the purpose of doing so. It further examines how today's mass media captures current events and communicates them to its users. The documentary then focuses on the organised information archives we call encyclopedias. It questions the way encyclopedias have been written in the past and focuses further on how the mass adoption of the Internet as a communication tool has influenced this process. The film looks at web based groups of people who have created vast networks of knowledge and at how the web continually challenges traditional media. Wikipedia is then presented as the best example of this relatively new phenomenon as it is the first site to mobilise the true potential of the Internet. It allows for the productive contribution of knowledge by any person on the planet free of charge.[3][4]
Status
As of February, 2009, this project is in Post Production. Editorial is taking place in New York City.
