Backed By Kickstarter And Full Of Tech Cameos, ?The Startup Kids' Movie Debuts On iTunes

The Startup Kids filmmakers on set, Vala Halldorsdottir and Sesselja VilhjalmsdottirFrom an economic perspective, the fall of 2008 brought dark days all over the world. But one of the hardest-hit places was Iceland, the Nordic European country whose entire financial system went into a deep freeze after a rapid and systemic collapse of its banking system. But two young Icelandic entrepreneurs Vala Halldorsdottir and Sesselja Vilhjalmsdottir found a silver lining in the situation. With an absence of traditional job prospects, the two young women decided shortly after the 2008 economy crash to start their own boardgames company -- and it turned out to be a big success. After that, they were motivated to spread the word about entrepreneurship to more people by making a documentary film about startup life.
