In 2007, when the world barely knew what a TED Talk was, m ss ng p eces was invited to the TED conference to make a film that would share the idea with the world. Since then, m ss ng p eces was entrusted to tell the story behind the TED Talk through a series of short documentaries that explored the TED brand, and the power of ideas and why and how they spread.
WORK
For four years straight, m ss ng p eces attended the conference and acted as guest filmmakers, exploring topics from the very nature of great ideas to the genesis of a TEDTalk to unveiling the mystery behind the TED organization itself. Given unprecedented access into the organization and its members, m ss ng p eces has gained a unique perspective through intimate interviews and friendships with some of the worlds most interesting global leaders, thinkers, doers and artists. This knowledge is at the core of how we create meaningful media for unique audiences.
RESULTS
The collection of films we’ve made with TED have been featured on TED.com as well as countless blogs in over 150 countries. They are often used as tools at TEDx events and conferences internationally.
In 2010, Josh Nussbaum directed a ten-minute documentary called Behind the TED Talk 2010. Named a Vimeo Staff Pick shortly after its release, the film is an intimate portrait of two extraordinary TED speakers: Sir Ken Robinson, who’s talk has been seen by over 50 million people, and a little-known new comer named Raghava KK, whose life has been transformed since his TEDTalk.
