A film by Erika Speed Location: Edwards Island Cinemas(inside the Fashion Island mall), 999 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, 92660 Time: 11 am Run time: 75 min. | USA Remember the Rubik’s Cube? What started as a worldwide fad has now become a competitive sport called “speedcubing,” with competitors unscrambling cubes in as little as twelve mind-bending seconds. “CubeFreak” tells the story of three people fascinated by the Rubik’s Cube: Tyson, a brilliant mind from Caltech, who has resurrected the cube competitions around the country, Macky, the 2006 Guinness Book World Record holder, and Sunil, a quirky yet exceptional high-school student and cube connoisseur. The film follows these cubers on the quest to bring the cube back to the forefront of popular culture. Read our prior Spotlight "Conversation with Tyson Mao" by clicking here.
