John Moore: Refurbished


Refurbished
Whatever happened to that toy you threw away? In 1999, “Furbies” were the most in demand toy in America. However, two years later they fell by the wayside, as most trends do, and became essentially worthless. “Refurbished” tells the uplifting story of how a group of these interactive creatures found a new voice through the creativity of an Austin inventor. Their tale acts as a microcosm of the “DIY” (Do It Yourself” culture that is sweeping the nation.

John Spottswood Moore is a multi-award winning writer and director. While receiving a BA in Film from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, Moore studied advanced level classes in Acting, writing, directing, and animation. His debut film, "Lemonade Stand", won multiple awards, including Best Fiction Film at the 2008 Open Apperture Film Festival and Best Comedy Film at the 2008 Scene First Film Festival. Since then he has worked in both radio and television in multiple creative positions. Moore is currently pursuing an MFA in Film Directing from the University of Texas at Austin.
