Tonight on Independent Lens: OBJECTIFIED by Gary Hustwit

“OBJECTIFIED, Gary Hustwit’s documentary about industrial design, is as sleek and handsome as any of the new and improved household items it exhibits.” – The New York Times

How does the design of your cell phone, toothbrush or couch impact your life? Did you ever stop to think about it? Director Gary Hustwit (director of Community Cinema hit selection HELVETICA) looks at our complex relationship with manufactured objects, the people who design them and the creative process behind their work. Step inside the offices of the world’s most influential product designers to see how these objects influence us––oftentimes without us even knowing it.

OBJECTIFIED premieres tonight, November 24, at 10:00 PM on Independent Lens on PBS (check local listings).
