Monday 10/21, 7:00 PM (Session 17)

Director: Cullen Hoback
Producer: John Ramos

Description:

Admit it: you don't really read the endless terms and conditions connected to every website you visit, phone call you make or app you download. But every day, billion-dollar corporations are learning more about your interests, your friends and family, your finances and your secrets. These corporations are not only selling the information to the highest bidder, they freely share it with the government. And you agreed to all of it. With fascinating examples and so-unbelievable-they're-almost-funny facts, filmmakers expose what governments and corporations are legally taking from you every day –making the future of both privacy and civil liberties uncertain. From whistle blowers and investigative journalists to zombie fan clubs and Egyptian dissidents, this disquieting exposé demonstrates how every one of us has incrementally opted into a real-time surveillance state, click by click. And what, if anything, you can do about it?

Biography:

Cullen Hoback grew up on the outskirts of Los Angeles. When he was 17, he started his own public access late night TV show, but was kicked off the air after making a series of social statements that drew angry phone calls from locals. While at school, he studied English and theatre, butting heads with the head of the theater program when he wanted to mount "True West" for a one-week run instead of being in a play that season. His work includes Freedom State, a heartfelt comedy that follows a cast of misfits to the edge of the world and Friction, a film about people at a summer camp who play out a scripted tale as the line between fantasy and reality blurs. In 2007, he was given a small budget to direct the LARPing documentary Monster Camp which features social outcasts banding together to create a community where magic is real and identity is limited only by one's imagination. Monster Camp received many awards.
