Director Statement

I have dedicated my professional life to breaking down barriers to great science education.
Film is one of the most important ways which we, as humans, communicate.
And, just as the invention of film in the late 19th century changed the way we tell and pass on tales, artificial intelligence and other technologies now open up new doors to the future.
I aim to merge tried-and-true filmmaking techniques with revolutionary technology, redefining scientifically literate, highly enjoyable, entertainment.
