Last month I shared how Dell was bringing you the opportunity to play a part in creating a new movie from Academy Award Winner Robert Stomberg, starring recent Academy Award Winner J. K. Simmons.
This week the official trailer debuted giving you a preview of the final film:
Many thanks to everyone who submitted creature sketches for possible inclusion in the movie. Thousands were received – more user-generated content than our partner Intel’s two previous “Inside Films” combined.
“We’ve had over 6,000 submissions of art work, which is crazy!” Stromberg told FastCompany. "I just think that’s a much better indicator of engagement than throwing a project into testing.

While a few people will be getting a preview at this week’s SXSW Film Festival, everyone can see the first installment of the movie in just a few short weeks. It is premiering March 25th exclusively on Hulu. Find out more at whatlivesinside.com and get ready to be taken to a world beyond your imagination!
