------- abstract ---------
REVOLUTION OS tells the inside story of the hackers who rebelled against
the proprietary software model and Microsoft to create GNU/Linux and the
Open Source movement. 

On June 1, 2001, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said "Linux is a cancer
that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it
touches." 

Microsoft fears GNU/Linux, and rightly so. GNU/Linux and the Open Source
& Free Software movements arguably represent the greatest threat to
Microsoft's way of life. Shot in cinemascope on 35mm film in Silicon
Valley, REVOLUTION OS tracks down the key movers and shakers behind
Linux, and finds out how and why Linux became such a potent threat. 

REVOLUTION OS features interviews with Linus Torvalds, Richard Stallman,
Bruce Perens, Eric Raymond, Brian Behlendorf, Michael Tiemann, Larry
Augustin, Frank Hecker, and Rob Malda. To view the trailer or the first
eight minutes go to the ifilm website for REVOLUTION OS. 

Revolution O.S. is director J.T.S. Moore's first feature length
documentary. Moore previously has worked as a screenwriter for Walt
Disney Studios. He earned his B.A. in history from Stanford University
and his M.A. in filmproduction from the University of Southern
California's School of Cinema/Television. Moore's previous film, the
Civil War action-drama SHOOTING CREEK, premiered at the Telluride Film
Festival and later was licensed by Starz-Encore. Moore was born and
raised in Atlanta and currently resides in Los Angeles.
