Microsoft have made a movie

Microsoft in partnership with Ten100 have made a movie called Ctrl+Alt+Compete or more accurately have made a documentary which follows the startup of 5 companies Aboutone.com, Guardly, LiquidSpace, PopVox and Supergiant Games.

“Ctrl+Alt+Compete takes a revealing look at the startup and emerging business scene through the eyes of 5 founders and their teams and tells a story of the passion, fortitude and insanity that is bringing a startup to life. We’ll follow these visionaries as they face the challenges and obstacles of making their vision a reality alongside the insights and analysis of seasoned industry watchers and tech sector pioneers.”

The film is set to premiere at the Napa Valley Film Festival in November but how the film is to be distributed remains to be seen.

“Building a startup from nothing to something is hard—REALLY hard.  There is a “story behind the story” of just how hard it is for these ideas to go from inception to reality and become the products and services that we use every day.  It’s a story of the power of people pouring their passion, drive and dedication into building something that changes the world—no matter how hard.  We believe that is a story worth telling and sharing.” explains Microsofts Daryll McDade.
