Dear LinkedIn friends, did you do business with a BlackBerry? Remember the tiny buttons! And whatever happened to the company RIM? Find out in BlackBerry, the comedy-drama about the rise and demise of one of the world's biggest tech companies. "People think that #BlackBerry failed because the iPhone arrived on the scene and to some extent, that’s correct, but what was far more interesting to us was to dive into the human aspects and try to figure out why they couldn’t anticipate what iPhone would do to their company,” says Matthew Miller, co-writer of the film. The production team spent 10 months researching and sourcing expired technology from the late 1990s to early 2000s. Catch BlackBerry on Showmax: https://lnkd.in/g8g5_6Xy
