ROUND ROCK, Texas, Jan. 13, 2015 – Dell Inc. today announced a collaboration with Intel Corporation on the latest social film titled, “What Lives Inside,” the fourth film of the ‘Inside Films’ series. The film will be directed by two-time Oscar-winner Robert Stromberg (“Maleficent”) and stars Colin Hanks (TV’s “Fargo”), J.K. Simmons (“Whiplash”) and Catherine O’Hara (“Best In Show”), along with the world’s thinnest tablet, the new Dell Venue 8 7000 Series tablet with Intel® RealSense™ snapshot and an Intel® Atom™ processor. The series will debut on March 25 exclusively on Hulu, and new episodes will premiere for four weeks. Starting May 6, the full series will be available on WhatLivesInside.com and on YouTube.

‘Inside Films’ is the longest-running branded content series and has adopted a new genre and social activation each time ranging from thriller, romance, science fiction and now fantasy. This year’s social component involves Stromberg inviting the public to collaborate with him to complete the film by submitting character sketches and drawings for potential inclusion in the story. Submissions will be accepted on www.WhatLivesInside.com  from Jan. 13 through March 9, and the winning drawings will be handpicked by Stromberg to appear in the film.

The film centers around Taylor (Hanks), the son of an absentee father who finds himself on a journey of self discovery. His father (Simmons) was a well-known and acclaimed children’s puppeteer who was widely celebrated for his creativity. After his passing, Taylor discovers a mysterious world of his dad’s creation and finds himself on an adventure that will soon unlock his own creativity. The Intel-powered Dell Venue 8 7000 Series tablet with Intel® RealSense™ snapshot will play a critical character in the film, accompanying Taylor on every step of the journey and helping to unlock his creativity. Integrated into the viewing experience in an organic manner, the product’s unique features become the perfect tools for the emerging artist in Taylor to showcase his work. The stunning organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) infinity edge-to-edge screen with more than 4 million pixels captures the rich and saturated colors of his creations. The tablet is also the first to integrate the Intel® RealSense™ Snapshot technology that captures a depth map for every picture taken, allowing Taylor to make instant measurements on his journey.

“The story has become a very personal journey for me,” said Stromberg. “As a working father in Hollywood, I can relate to the father’s struggles in the movie, which made me very passionate about how the characters evolved. I am also extremely excited about the prospect of directing a social film and find myself daily thinking of ways to increase fan involvement in the film. This unique format will allow us to bridge the emotional and fantasy elements to create something not only unforgettable, but personal.”

“Dell’s commitment to innovation is brought to life stunningly through the lens of ‘What Lives Inside,'” said Marissa Tarleton, executive director of Consumer and Small Business, North America Marketing for Dell. “Working with Intel on this project will allow us to continue to inspire consumers, foster creativity among social film fans new and old, and promote the new wave of computing among these communities. Our products have always been at the forefront of innovation and now, through the ‘Inside Films’ series, we have been able to showcase a unique approach to marketing products to consumers.”

This is the first time Dell has collaborated with an award-winning director and cast to produce a Hollywood-quality film. The series, now in its fourth year, has worked with a range of top talent. Past films have featured Hollywood stars such as Harvey Keitel, Emmy Rossum and Topher Grace, and the films have repeatedly won the admiration of Emmy and Cannes committees as well as over 200 million viewers worldwide.

“This social film provides an engaging and unique way to showcase the capabilities of the Intel RealSense technology through the Dell Venue 8 7000 series,” said Doug Parker, vice president of Intel Partner Marketing.

ROUND ROCK, Texas, Jan. 13, 2015 – Dell Inc. today announced a collaboration with Intel Corporation on the latest social film titled, “What Lives Inside,” the fourth film of the ‘Inside Films’ series. The film will be directed by two-time Oscar-winner Robert Stromberg (“Maleficent”) and stars Colin Hanks (TV’s “Fargo”), J.K. Simmons (“Whiplash”) and Catherine O’Hara (“Best In Show”), along with the world’s thinnest tablet, the new Dell Venue 8 7000 Series tablet with Intel® RealSense™ snapshot and an Intel® Atom™ processor. The series will debut on March 25 exclusively on Hulu, and new episodes will premiere for four weeks. Starting May 6, the full series will be available on WhatLivesInside.com and on YouTube.

‘Inside Films’ is the longest-running branded content series and has adopted a new genre and social activation each time ranging from thriller, romance, science fiction and now fantasy. This year’s social component involves Stromberg inviting the public to collaborate with him to complete the film by submitting character sketches and drawings for potential inclusion in the story. Submissions will be accepted on www.WhatLivesInside.com  from Jan. 13 through March 9, and the winning drawings will be handpicked by Stromberg to appear in the film.

The film centers around Taylor (Hanks), the son of an absentee father who finds himself on a journey of self discovery. His father (Simmons) was a well-known and acclaimed children’s puppeteer who was widely celebrated for his creativity. After his passing, Taylor discovers a mysterious world of his dad’s creation and finds himself on an adventure that will soon unlock his own creativity. The Intel-powered Dell Venue 8 7000 Series tablet with Intel® RealSense™ snapshot will play a critical character in the film, accompanying Taylor on every step of the journey and helping to unlock his creativity. Integrated into the viewing experience in an organic manner, the product’s unique features become the perfect tools for the emerging artist in Taylor to showcase his work. The stunning organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) infinity edge-to-edge screen with more than 4 million pixels captures the rich and saturated colors of his creations. The tablet is also the first to integrate the Intel® RealSense™ Snapshot technology that captures a depth map for every picture taken, allowing Taylor to make instant measurements on his journey.

“The story has become a very personal journey for me,” said Stromberg. “As a working father in Hollywood, I can relate to the father’s struggles in the movie, which made me very passionate about how the characters evolved. I am also extremely excited about the prospect of directing a social film and find myself daily thinking of ways to increase fan involvement in the film. This unique format will allow us to bridge the emotional and fantasy elements to create something not only unforgettable, but personal.”

“Dell’s commitment to innovation is brought to life stunningly through the lens of ‘What Lives Inside,'” said Marissa Tarleton, executive director of Consumer and Small Business, North America Marketing for Dell. “Working with Intel on this project will allow us to continue to inspire consumers, foster creativity among social film fans new and old, and promote the new wave of computing among these communities. Our products have always been at the forefront of innovation and now, through the ‘Inside Films’ series, we have been able to showcase a unique approach to marketing products to consumers.”

This is the first time Dell has collaborated with an award-winning director and cast to produce a Hollywood-quality film. The series, now in its fourth year, has worked with a range of top talent. Past films have featured Hollywood stars such as Harvey Keitel, Emmy Rossum and Topher Grace, and the films have repeatedly won the admiration of Emmy and Cannes committees as well as over 200 million viewers worldwide.

“This social film provides an engaging and unique way to showcase the capabilities of the Intel RealSense technology through the Dell Venue 8 7000 series,” said Doug Parker, vice president of Intel Partner Marketing.

Intel, 10×10 Announce New Efforts to Empower Girls, Transform Developing Economies through Education

NEWS HIGHLIGHTS

  • Intel and the 10×10 campaign, partners on the new feature film “Girl Rising,” will develop policy frameworks with local leaders aimed at achieving gender equity in education and accelerating economic development.
  • Workshops will be held in low- and middle-income countries with the end goal of developing regional policy frameworks that will empower girls and achieve gender equity in education.
  • Each year of secondary schooling increases a girl’s future wages by 10 to 20 percent. At the national level, increasing the share of women with secondary education by just 1 percent increases a country’s annual GDP by an average of .3 percent.

WASHINGTON, D.C., April 18, 2013 – Intel Corporation and the 10×10 campaign, partners on the new feature film “Girl Rising,” today announced they will work with policymakers in low- and middle-income countries to develop transformative education and technology policies that empower women, achieve gender equity in access to quality education and accelerate economic development.

Together, Intel and 10×10 will develop and host gender equity and education policy workshops, and develop regional policy frameworks based on key gender needs. The workshops will help governments think deeply about issues of gender equity as they develop national policy plans for broader education transformation.

According to the Council on Foreign Relations report, “What Works in Girls’ Education,” each year of secondary schooling increases a girl’s future wages by 10 to 20 percent. At the national level, increasing the share of women with secondary education by just 1 percent increases a country’s annual GDP by an average of .3 percent. Yet studies from the United Nations and International Labour Organization show that in 2009, girls accounted for 53 percent of all out-of-school children and 87 million women were unemployed in 2010, up from 76 million in 2007.

Underscoring the humanitarian and economic imperative of improving access to quality education for girls and women around the world, Intel and 10×10 will join U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, World Bank President Jim Yong Kim and actress Freida Pinto for a “Girl Rising”  rally today at World Bank headquarters. Directed by Academy Award nominee Richard Robbins, the film spotlights the stories of nine girls born into unforgiving circumstances, delivering a single message: Educating girls in developing nations will change the world.

“We’ve seen first-hand the transformational change that can occur when girls have access to an education,” said Shelly Esque, vice president of Intel’s Corporate Affairs Group and president of the Intel Foundation. “By working with 10×10 and policymakers to improve gender equity in education, Intel is taking the vital message of ‘Girl Rising’ into action. Together, we can empower girls and help them become agents of positive change in their communities.”

“By sharing the personal stories of these nine girls, ‘Girl Rising’  illustrates just how important education is in the movement to empower women and girls,” said Holly Gordon, 10×10’s executive director. “Our partnership with Intel to provide decision makers in developing countries with scalable policy solutions to expand gender equity in education marks the next step in our commitment to change both minds and policy to positively impact girls’ lives.”

“Improving access to education for girls is a critical step in our efforts to end poverty and improve the lives of people around the world,” said Elizabeth King, the World Bank’s education director. “Good quality education helps unlock the potential of girls and women everywhere, and has enormous benefits for them and broader society. We in the development community can help by sharpening the technical tools and knowledge to design and implement better policies and programs to get girls to school, keep them safe, and support their learning.”

Countries with less gender inequality in education and employment have lower levels of child mortality, more transparent businesses and faster economic growth, according to the World Bank report, “Engendering Development: Through Gender Equality in Rights, Resources and Voice.”

Through the policy workshops, Intel and 10×10 will help leaders determine how to utilize technology to facilitate gender equity across school policy, curriculum and assessment, teacher development, and research and evaluation. These efforts will build on Intel’s existing policy framework, which leverages education policy and information and communications technologies (ICTs) to create mechanisms for empowering girls and achieving gender equity in education at scale.

Intel believes that education should be a fundamental right for everyone and recognizes the major role technology plays in improving both the quality of and access to education.
