Anyone out there remember the Whole Earth Catalog? We did too but didn't know who produced it. His name is Stewart Brand and not only did he create, along with his first wife Lois Jennings, this counterculture magazine that started in 1968 and ran sporadically until 1998, he's credited in helping to be a co-founder of the environmental movement, as well as being one of the first adapters of computer technology as we know it (he was in the garage with Jobs and The Woz folks!), campaigning to see a photograph of the earth on the streets of San Francisco, and is now trying to bring back the woolly mammoth. Yep, you read that right.
In the film We Are As Gods, we speak with co-director Jason Sussberg about the man, the myth, and the legend about his documentary about the real life Forrest Gump aka Stewart Brand and how does one capture this persons life and work in one film.
If you never heard of Stewart Brand before this podcast, it's totally ok, but now, he's going to be in your universe forever. You're welcome.
