Startup docu teaser #01: Michael Hartl

http://startup-dna.tumblr.com/post/36234445501/startup-dna-docu-teaser01-michael-hartl-this

This is material from a 3h interview with Michael Hartl, http://ruby.railstutorial.org/. It consists of scenes that I probably won't use in the docu but wanted to share with folks anyway. Blog about the docu: http://startup-dna.tumblr.com/ Twitter: twitter.com/@startup_dna

The docu is about startups, venture capital, programming and education. I'm bootstrapping this out of my own pocket and it's my first documentary. My ambition is to make this film as authentic and 3-dimensional as possible. I'm showing accomplished entrepreneurs and underdogs who just started their businesses side by side and capture their insights about startups on screen.

If you have ideas for people I should interview and can provide intros as well, please post their names below so readers can upvote candidates they would like to see.

Feedback is much appreciated. Thank you!

Good luck -- looks interesting. "Documentary" misspelled, fwiw.

Still playing around with the format, want to make this as agile as possible. Glad you like it. The next teaser is gonna be shorter, didn't want to trim this interview to much this time.
