Film Production Unit
Science stories are unfolding all around us. Major discoveries take place with breathtaking frequency in fields from biomedicine to cosmology, discoveries that have the potential to change our lives and transform the way we understand our place in the universe.
With the frontiers of knowledge moving forward every day, there has never been a more important time to bring these stories to a global audience. That is why HHMI is launching a five-year initiative to produce world-class films for broadcast, theatrical release, and digital distribution. Our goal: to reach a worldwide audience with sophisticated science content that entertains and enlightens.
The film production unit will partner with producers, broadcasters, and distributors to produce groundbreaking specials, series, films, and new media content. For us, the ideal production is one that:
-
Tackles new and important science. We're looking for stories that break new ground, provide a new perspective, and help viewers make sense of what's going on in the world of science.
-
Is highly entertaining, with a premium on immersive, compelling, and dramatic storytelling.
-
Brings science to life by capturing the adventure and excitement scientists experience as they solve the most elusive mysteries. We believe that the process of discovery is inherently compelling, and our goal is to capture that drama.
-
Is visually inventive. We're looking for stories that can be told in new ways, and we aim to support the pioneering use of imaging technologies to bring hidden worlds to life.
-
Has lasting impact through a powerful initial broadcast and effective outreach
-
Inspires a sense of amazement and wonder.
