The Ridge is more than just a film. It's intentionally designed to connect with a variety of ages to inspire those with experience to mentor the next generation, the specialists to leverage their strengths in science and technology, and the synthesists to connect dots that haven't yet been connected. Community groups to enable this will be activated based on my experience launching 18 science-tech communities around the world. The entire premise is positioned that those who are alive today shape the future that takes place in this film. Reading/learning, the environment, and human connection being the main points of emphasis. I am a neuroscientist by training originally, so everything is based on real research published or live today. The bigger picture connects to humans beyond the screen. For instance, the VR game you see played in the trailer will be made into a real game that people can play (I've already developed an MVP for a similar type of game, although it won't require backflips to be played). I see a future of film that connects with every viewer beyond when the film ends. I hope we can build this new era together.
