ABOUT THE COMPUTER: WONDER OF THE FUTURE
Science-Tone Films, maker of children's educational movies in the 1950s, presents a fantastical look at how computers will one day simplify the lives of all who use them.

Our guide for this informative and astounding journey into the future is none other than the Science-Tone Professor himself. Delivering a lesson to Larry and Suzy, two well-mannered grade school students with excellent posture, The Professor foretells a time in the not too distant future when mechanical thinking machines, called "com-putors," will increase our quality of life, send rockets to Mars, and help fight communism.

The Professor concludes the day's lesson with a coda that will be proven true in decades to come: "At work, at home, or on the go, the computer truly is the wonder of the future."

THE COMPUTER: WONDER OF THE FUTURE Starring TOM ACORD as The Professor, CIARAN VEJBY as Larry, ERIC VEJBY as Bob, DEBORAH JEAN WELSH as Doris, and CAITLIN VEJBY as Suzy. Directed by MICHAEL KENNETH JACKSON, Written and Produced by ERIC VEJBY & MICHAEL KENNETH JACKSON, Cinematographer and Editor MICHAEL KENNETH JACKSON.

ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
The West Hollywood International Film Festival (WHIFF) founded in 2007 by Martin De Luca, in its inaugural year, is soon to be West Hollywood's premier festival destination. Filmmaking, by nature, is an intensely collaborative, creative, and communicated art form. It takes a diverse range of personalities and talent to see a film to completion. Filmmaking is a dream of many around the planet, regardless of race, nationality, color or language. Filmmaking transcends and seeks to eliminate the barriers of society.

WHIFF is here to celebrate that triumphant rise of Hollywood as a leader in filmmaking, its influence on filmmaking around the world, and now, with WHIFF, its celebratory return to the stage that made it famous. By bringing filmmakers and their films from around the world to West Hollywood , the WHIFF shows its support and dedication to the world being created all around us, an increasingly connected world.
