THE STORY of the rise
and fall of a pair of Dot
Com millionaires during
the Web commerce explo-
sion comes to a movie
screen in Terrace Monday.

Startup.cam is an ac-
claimed American docu-
mentary that looks at two
friends who had a great
idea, got massive financial
backing (a reported $60
million) and then it all
went horribly wrong,

Tom.Herman and pal
Kaleil Tuzman wanted to
build a Website that al-
lowed people to pay their
parking tickets on the [n-
ternet.

Like the stampeders
who headed north to the
Yukon filled with dreams
of cashing in on the Gold
Rush, the two friends find
themselves caught up in
the frenzied atmosphere of
the monumentally overva-

.lued - and over hyped -
‘Dot: Com market where
_dollars outrank common
- sense,

The crash was inevit-
able, -

But what Startup.com

- Shows in excruciating be-

American dream

these two buddies over-
looked little thing: despite
amassing a staff of 200,
their brainchild, pov-
Works.com, has a funda-
mental flaw.

The biggest problem
isn’t financing — it’s com-
ing up with a software pro-
gram that actually works.

The movie is directed

Suro

by Christ Hegedus and Je-
hane Nougaim, who com-
pleted filming just three
weeks before its debut at
the Sundance Film Festi-
val.

One of the producers
worked on the ground-
breaking insider dacumen-
tary, The War Room, a film
about Bill Clinton’s 1992

FOR YOUR

presidential campaign.
