Written and directed by Nicholas Jasenovec.
A portrait of Dr. Richard J. Bing on his hundredth birthday.
After being awarded the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival for his much beloved feature film debut 'Paper Heart,' Nicholas Jasenovec returns this year with this delightful short documentary of an exceptional man turning 100-years-old. Shortly before his centennial birthday celebration, the film's subject, Dr. Richard S. Bing, learned of the Bing search engine and wrote a letter to Microsoft about his life and upcoming milestone. Jasenovec, who was at work scripting a feature with writing partner Bill Hader, was asked to meet with the man, and instantly knew he wanted to make a short about Dr. Bing. When asked if there's anything he wishes to pass on to the film's audiences, Dr. Bing provides these words of wisdom: "Sometimes a ripe fruit has more flavor than one straight from the tree!"
