BEYOND THE BRICK: A LEGO BRICKUMENTARY is the documentary about LEGO bricks and the incredible love and fascination they inspire in kids as well as creative adults. Filmmakers Daniel Junge and Kief Davidson join BYOD direct from the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of the film and present their homage to LEGO with the film footage and plenty of insightful conversation on their movie that builds where the blocks leave off.

FILM & GUEST INFO:
LEGO® bricks have captured imaginations for generations, and today, the community of builders is bigger than ever. Adult Fans of Lego (AFOLs) display their latest creations at Brick Conventions, self-proclaimed Master Builders create entire worlds out of the modular bricks, and a corporate design team plans the Times Square unveiling of the largest LEGO model ever created. Beyond the Brick playfully delves into LEGO's storied history and massive global fan base.
