The Sundance Institute released the image and a deeper synopsis of the flick -- titled jOBS -- on Monday.

"The true story of one of the greatest entrepreneurs in American history, jOBS chronicles the defining 30 years of Steve Jobs' life," reads the synopsis. "jOBS is a candid, inspiring and personal portrait of the one who saw things differently."
