Segment Two-REVOLUTION OS – with
Director-cinematographer-writer J.T.S. Moore

Tonight we are joined by J.T.S. Moore most recent film is the
groundbreaking, feature-length documentary REVOLUTION OS.
Theatrically released in 2002 by Seventh Art Releasing, REVOLUTION
OS tells the inside story of the hackers and computer programmers
who rebelled against Microsoft to create Linux and the Open Source
movement. Prior to making REVOLUTION OS, Moore worked as a
professional screenwriter for Walt Disney Studios.

If you have lived in a hole and have not seen the documentary
yet, REVOLUTION OS tells the inside story of the
hackers, geeks and computer programmers who rebelled against the
proprietary software model to create GNU, Linux, and the Open
Source movement.

Shot in cinemascope on 35mm film in Silicon Valley, REVOLUTION
OS depicts the story of an unusual group of characters and one bad
garage band on their trek to changing the computing world.
REVOLUTION OS stars Linus Torvalds – the creator of Linux, and
Richard Stallman – the ideological godfather of the movement, and
features interviews with high-tech luminaries and commentators such
as Bruce Perens, Eric Raymond, Brian Behlendorf, Michael Tiemann,
Larry Augustin, Frank Hecker, and Rob Malda.

The two-disc special edition DVD of REVOLUTION OS is
CSS-Encryption Free and Region Free. The special edition DVD
includes numerous special features such as a Director’s audio
commentary, a music video for “The Free Software Song,” Theatrical
trailers, a Still Image Gallery, 113 pages of Free Software and
Open Source documents, and 70 minutes of never-before-seen
interview footage with Linus Torvalds, Richard Stallman and
others.

Moore graduated with honors in history from Stanford University
and earned his Masters of Arts in film production 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 currently airs in
High-Definition on HDNet.

Moore was born and raised in Atlanta, and splits his time
between Los Angeles, Atlanta, and western North Carolina.
