It takes A LOT to get called «creepy» in New York City | Jason Wishnow | TEDxEast

Jason Wishnow, filmmaker and victim of circumstance, talks about some of his life experiences.

Jason Wishnow is the filmmaker behind TED Talks, the Peabody Award winning video series watched over one billion times (even in outer space). Wishnow works at the intersection of film and emerging technologies and has been called “no stranger to difficult shoots” (Wired UK, 2014), an “online-video virtuoso” (New York Times, 2009), the “enfant terrible of digital film” (The Guardian, 2000), and one of the ten most influential digital filmmakers of 1999 (RES Magazine). In the Spring of 2016, a candid photograph of Wishnow riding the New York subway went viral. In this Talk, Wishnow shares that story (along with some of the secrets of TED Talks, including the origin of the big, round, red TED rug).

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
