Values:
Hollywood has become repetitive, pessimistic and mechanical, addicted to the same franchises. They’ve stopped developing bold new ideas that push the boundaries of our imagination. There is an opportunity here for the new generation of filmmakers to create innovative films by harnessing optimism, new technologies and our deepest scientific ideas.
This movie will avoid the common trap of dystopia, and focus on an hopeful future where scientific discovery moves civilization forward.

he returns with The Day I Met You, his newest and most ambitious project to date.
