Indie film: It really is who you know

Google co-founders and billionaires Sergey Brin and Larry Page are entering the indie film business, helping to finance a friend’s independent movie.

The Internet tycoons are the executive producers of “Broken Arrows,” — not be confused with the John Woo movie of similar title — and it tells the story of a man “who loses his pregnant wife in a terrorist attack and then takes a job as a hit man.”

The AP also reports that:

“The film is written and directed by Reid Gershbein, a computer graphics designer at Dreamworks Animation who became friends with the Google founders when they were doctoral students in computer science at Stanford.”

Ok.
