BlackBerry, the new feature film from writer/director Matt Johnson, opens in theaters on May 12. I saw it last month at the San Francisco International Film Festival, at Lucasfilm’s Premier Theater in the Presidio. (Driving directions specify “Look for the Yoda fountain.”) I enjoyed it a lot, and I bet you will too, especially if you loved your BlackBerry as much as I loved mine.

I did notice one missing plot point, and so my latest story for Medium, “How the BlackBerry Got Its Name,” fills in the gap. Click your little keyboard to read the story and then tap the clap icon if you liked it—up to 50 times per story! That link will give you a free pass, but if you want more goodies, you can join Medium with my referral link.
