Crowdfunding Begins for Documentary Film Charting the Birth of Singularity University | Singularity HUB. Crowdfunding Begins for Documentary Film Charting the Birth of Singularity University Matt Rutherford, filmmaker and former producer of Charlie Rose, first met Salim Ismail at a birthday party in San Francisco. Over a beverage and some tech talk, the conversation turned to a new project Ismail was involved in called Singularity University. Futurist and inventor, Ray Kurzweil, and XPRIZE founder, Peter Diamandis, believed technological progress was accelerating dramatically.
And that got them wondering: Can we somehow harness technology to solve the world’s biggest challenges? It was 2008. Diamandis and Kurzweil had just founded Singularity University to find out. The idea was simple enough. Rutherford was fascinated at the prospect and proposed making a feature documentary. Now, after recording those early days and sticking around to find out what did happen next—Rutherford has his film.
The documentary film, called “The University,” revolves around Peter Diamandis. Singularity University | Solving Humanity's Grand Challenges.
