How does the design of your cell phone, toothbrush or couch impact your life? Did you ever stop to think about it? Director Gary Hustwit (HELVETICA) looks at our complex relationship with manufactured objects, the people who design them and the creative process behind their work. Step inside the offices of the world's most influential product designers to see how these objects influence us—oftentimes without us even knowing it.

OBJECTIFIED premieres November 24, 2009 on Independent Lens, a weekly series airing on PBS. Hosted by Maggie Gyllenhaal, the acclaimed series showcases powerful and innovative independent films. Presented by ITVS, Independent Lens is broadcast on PBS stations nationwide.

Photoes use to be rectangular or square. That's why.

When Karim Rashid pointed out that cameras were designed in a rectangular form because of the film... and then asked why are we still revisiting that archetype despite the absence of film... :) ... A simple yet profound observation and an important question!
