Entrepreneur Turns Filmmaker With 'Google Me' Gig

 

"I've got a few things up my sleeve," he says. "But until this baby is self-sufficient and on its own, I'm going to give it the attention it needs. ... You've just planted the crop when you make the film. You still have to water, weed, fertilize and spray for bugs."

Despite everything he learned about the ins and outs of making a movie, Killeen says the real impact of the experience was on a personal level in terms of what he discovered about connecting with people and about the myth that the Internet has isolated people.

"The world's shrinking," he says. "We are connected in the world, in an offline way as well as in an online way. We're in it together. It's not dog-eat-dog. It's dog-help-dog. The thing that really surprised me was not that you could make the connection. The thing that I was blown away by was the depth of the connections I made. These are just average guys in everyday life. Having these guys go along with the spirit of play was a really pleasant payoff -- that depth on a human level."
