This afternoon, my new documentary premieres at the USFG Faceting Symposium in Tucson. For anyone that’s not at the Tucson show, I will be doing a live premiere on YouTube at the exact same time. If you want to experience this moment live, go to this link at 4:40 PM MT. (3:30 PST, 6:40 EST). The documentary is 51 minutes long and recounts the history of gemstone design in software.

Thank you for all your work in the presentation, and the link for us suffering from Tuscon Deficit Disorder.
I was hand-drawing designs, test cutting, then doing "the reality of it all" by hand for a high school project in the 70's. Was trying to get a system using geometric modeling when I ran in to GemCad (Thank you Mr. Strickland!!!) in 1990. I am very in debt to all the folks you interviewed and many more. You also are on thar list!
