Filmmaker Twofolds Premiere Plan

No stranger to innovation, filmmaker Jim Killeen will once again break tradition and premiere his highly anticipated film "Google Me" on a free, worldwide Internet stream while simultaneously featuring it at the esteemed Newport Beach Film Festival.

The double debut is an unprecedented move in the film industry but is only too true to form for an entrepreneur who has a history of taking his future into his own hands rather than relying on others.

On Friday, April 25, 2008, "Google Me" will premiere both on YouTube.com -- one of the first films to ever be premiered on the video-sharing website -- as well as at the Newport Beach Film Festival.

The Newport showing will be at 3:45 p.m. at Fashion Island's Edwards Island Cinemas, located at 999 Newport Center Dr., Newport Beach, CA 92660.

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."
