Having achieved the aims of the initial stage of his ground-breaking campaign - posting the entire film so as many people as possible could view it - Killeen has now removed "Google Me" from YouTube and is offering the DVD at a limited-time-only, reduced price, complete with such special features as an audio commentary and deleted scenes.

About Google Me


"Google Me" is a feature-length documentary about Detroit native and LA resident Jim Killeen who, like so many of us, Googled his name one evening in a moment of curiosity. The difference here that the filmmaker actually followed up on his findings by not only contacting the discovered namesakes, but also traveling to whatever remote location was called for to meet and interview the subjects of his search. Jim Killeen the filmmaker found, among others, Jim Killeen the Roman Catholic priest in Cobh, Ireland, Jim Killeen the retired cop in New York, Jim Killeen the CEO in Melbourne, Australia and Jim Killeen the sexual swinger in Denver. As a result of his genealogical journey, Killeen winds up forging life-long friendships with the previously unknown Killeens, as well as documenting a provoking commentary on today's society and how technology has transformed all of our lives.



"Google Me" has been given the search engine's blessing and even features Google's VP of Engineering, Douglas Merrill, in an insightful and entertaining interview voicing his sentiments on the subject.



The Washington Post calls Killeen "The Man Who Found Himself."
