The story of Love Notes to Newton:
Love Notes to Newton began as
a tiny crowdfunded fan-fi lm that quickly snowballed
into a trans-national
feature-
length documentary.
Created by some of the smartest people in Silicon Valley,
Newton
was a handheld device ahead of its time. Just
as it was coming of age, it was cancelled by Apple. But the inspiration lives on. A dedicated community has kept
it going for over twenty years after its demise. this is
Love Notes
.
It's about the people who created the
Newton, and it's about the fans
who keep it going
. It's the story of a little device which may be the most
personal computer ever.
With over 40 worldwide interviews, appearances include
Steve Capps
—responsible for much of the software
design of the Apple Lisa, Macintosh and Newton—
John Sculley,
former CEO of Apple Computer, and many
more, as well as the quirky and unique
fans
of the platform. There are touching moments, too, and the fi lm
reminds us that good technology is about people.
All proceeds from the sale of the fi lm go to bethematch.org.
"I'm addicted to your movie!"
-Mike, coordinator, MacStock conference and festival
"It is three in the morning, and I have to rise in 3 hours to go to work. I should have been sleeping for hours. But I
couldn’t stop watching. This fi lm is fantastic."
-Frank Gruendel, Newton User
"When I think of the international scope of this documentary, and the people who are involved, it blows my mind
that we did it on
such a small budget.”
-Noah Leon, Director
Newton team members will be in attendance to answer questions after. Filmmaker Noah Leon will be available
via video afterwards for a Q and A discussion.
