Nerd Nite Orlando recently celebrated its 5-year anniversary and announced production of a documentary film.
This documentary will explore the decentralized structure of Nerd Nite, its infectious spreading to new cities all around the world and how it has helped people gain confidence, discover their identity, and build meaningful relationships.
The modest budget will help to cover production costs; including equipment rentals, staff hires, travel, and festival submissions.
Production of the project will begin June 2018 with an expected completion by September 2018.
Nerd Nite: part pub lecture series, part global community. Soon to be a film!
Now a monthly event held in over 80 cities, it started as a local lecture series in a pub and grew into a global community of nerds. What do these people have in common? They like their education with a chaser. The Filmmakers will share with fans the amazing and even oddball events at the Nerd Nites around the world, from Zimbabwe to Toronto, during which several passionate speakers give short, fun-yet-informative presentations across all disciplines – all while the audience drinks along. Depending on the city, you might expect speed dating, science experiments, magic, trivia, or even acrobats. Nerd Nite celebrates the glory of minutiae. Because you can be a nerd about anything.
