Furman University and FATHOM & DRAFT present an exclusive screening Sept. 9 of “Design Disruptors,” the InVision-produced documentary on the design approaches of 15-plus industry-shaking companies and how they’re using the power of design to disrupt billion dollar industries.
The film chronicles the true nature of design and the design-driven business revolutions being shaped around the world through the designer’s eyes.
The free showing runs from 7-9 p.m. in Furman’s Burgiss Theater.
David Siglin, a local photographer and graphic designer, said bringing this screening to Greenville started with a conversation between Marco Suarez and him one Saturday morning at Methodical Coffee.
“We both feel Greenville has a lot of design talent but very little recognition,” he said. “One way to change that is to be seen as a city where the design community is thriving and active.”
Siglin said having “Design Disruptors” in Greenville puts the city alongside other much larger, design-powerhouse cities.
InVision is actively promoting every screening of this film, so alongside New York, L.A. and Chicago, Greenville will be listed. InVision has promoted the event to their 80k-plus Twitter followers.
Siglin said he sees this screening as a test run of sorts and hopes to have more events like this.
