I interviewed Rona to learn the story of how she built Instant Technology from the ground up.

Melissa Pierce is the creator of the film Life In Perpetual Beta.  She wasn't a filmmaker before she created this documentary.  I invited Melissa here to learn why she created the film, how she funded it, and how she actually went about creating the film without knowing much about filmmaking to begin with.
