Future is Next movie premiere (with Q&A panel)



 


What Comes Next Is the Future is a documentary film about the web created by Bearded founder Matt Griffin. It is the story of the Tim Berners­Lee’s creation: how it came to be, where it’s been, and where it’s going, as told by the people who build it.


Griffin knits together a narrative by mining dozens of conversations with important figures from throughout the web’s history including Jeffrey Zeldman, Denise Jacobs, Tim Berners-­Lee, Ethan Marcotte, Chris Wilson, Lyza Danger Gardner, Eric Meyer, Irene Au, Alex Russell, Trent Walton, Val Head, Jonathan Snook and many more.
