Finding the Future: A Science Fiction Conversation (Documentary)
Enlarge View
For over a century science fiction writers and readers have speculated about where humanity is heading. Now, it almost seems we're living in a world taken straight from the pages of their futuristic fantasies.
Shot against the backdrop of major conventions, Finding the Future examines the phenomenon of science fiction. Through the thoughtful commentary of prominent authors and enthusiastic fans, we explore the culture of science fiction and the passion of its devotees for the genre. We also consider the effect of science fiction on society, and listen to these sci-fi aficionados as they muse upon what might lie ahead for our rapidly changing world.

At the end of the show, as I left the room, the first thing I said in response to the question "How did you like it?" was ... "Can I buy a copy?" I have been patiently waiting for it's release ever since .. and waiting .. and waiting.
The production quality of the show I saw was not "hollywood" quality, since many (most?) of the scenes were shot *at* various conventions over the years, with handheld cameras, often in crowded hotel rooms .. BUT the famous faces mixed in with just plain FANS all telling us different aspects of SciFi Fandom make an excellent story.
