It’d be redundant to describe the event, since, you know, I made a movie about it, but suffice to say that it’s not just a bunch of presentations inside conference rooms and a strict agenda with a keynote each morning and bagels and butter waiting on tables for lunch. DEF CON is a massive, thriving, varied and strange gathering of people, one I’ve been part of for over a decade and which brings the stories by the bushel. My problem wasn’t having us film interesting things – it was trying to figure out how to shove all those interesting things into one single block of movie.
The thought of going to DEFCON scares the shit out of me, but I'm sure it would be a fascinating experience. I'm going to find some time to watch this sooner rather than later.
Scott has also done documentaries on BBSes and text adventures that I think I need to check out.
