Busy times at the studio! This is from a shoot last week at the Herbst Theatre in San Francisco. We covered the world premiere of a documentary that you’ll be hearing about soon called Whiz Kids. This delightful film is about 3 very different teenagers, that have one thing in common – all are fledgling scientists vying to compete in the Intel Science Talent Search, (which I learned is the nation’s oldest and most prestigious science competition). The film tells the story of their journey, showing the highs and lows and lessons that each teen experienced. I laughed…I cried…it’s rare that I get to do both at a shoot!
This event was also a benefit for the Exploratorium and the WHIZ KIDS Outreach and Education Fund.
