  • Birth of Planet Earth Premieres at the Zeiss-Großplanetarium in Berlin
    Birth of Planet Earth Premieres at the Zeiss-Großplanetarium in Berlin Berlin, March 2019 – Birth of Planet Earth, a new 24-minute giant screen science documentary for digital fulldome cinemas, had its global premiere at the Zeiss-Großplanetarium in Berlin this month. The film is a co-production of Spitz Creative Media, the Advanced Visualization Lab at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, and Thomas Lucas Productions, Inc., in association with Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville, Georgia. According to Tim Florian Horn, Director of Zeiss-Großplanetarium: “Birth of Planet Earth looks at the very beginning of our planet and the unique requirements that enabled life to evolve. The new program helps us to develop a better understanding of the history of our very own existence on this pale blue dot we call home. It marks the beginning of a major program initiative focusing on the ‘System Earth’ at Zeiss-Großplanetarium in 2019.” Narrated by Richard Dormer (Game of Thrones, Fortitude) and distributed by Spitz, Inc. and Evans & Sutherland, Birth of Planet Earth is now available for booking by planetariums, museums and educational institutions. Birth of Planet Earth is the latest in a series of collaborations between Spitz, the AVL, and producer/director Thomas Lucas. It joins a library of successful prior collaborations, including Black Holes: The Other Side of Infinity, Dynamic Earth, and Solar Superstorms. According to Director Lucas, “Birth of Planet Earth allows us to successfully fuse high-end animation techniques from the team at Spitz Creative Media with supercomputer-produced scientific visualizations from the AVL.” Dr. Donna Cox, Director of the AVL since 2006, is a pioneer in the use of scientific data as a storytelling tool for television, fulldome, and IMAX documentaries.

  • Playwrights Studio 2020/2021
    WEXFORD PLAYWRIGHTS STUDIO 2020/2021 WORKS IN PROGRESS STAGE READINGS PROGRAMME P A G E 1 Wexford Arts Centre in association with County Wexford Arts Office is pleased to present WEXFORD PLAYWRIGHTS STUDIO 2021 WORKS IN PROGRESS STAGE READINGS DIRECTED BY BEN BARNES In 2020, just before the COVID-19 pandemic struck in March, Wexford Arts Centre announced an open call in association with County Wexford Arts Office for playwrights in Wexford to apply for a mentorship programme titled Wexford Playwrights Studio. The initiative was devised in association with Wexford Arts Centre's performance subcommittee member and local community theatre writer & director Carol Long and was supported by Liz Burns, Wexford County Council's Art Officer. The initiative was developed to support professional theatre development for playwrights in County Wexford. There were over 20 applications, and 8 very talented playwrights were chosen to participate in the programme. During the year the playwrights met by Zoom and in Wexford Arts Centre in compliance with COVID-19 H&S measures to work with lead mentor and renowned playwright Billy Roche and visiting acclaimed playwright and dramaturg mentors Deirdre Kinehan and Thomas Conway on the development of their proposed synopsis for plays into full production scripts. Leading international theatre director Ben Barnes came on board to direct the work in progress stage readings with a very fine cast of local and national professional actors who all committed to delivering stellar stage reading performances for each of these new plays. P A G E 2 Though we had hoped to produce these stage readings for a live audience due to current COVID-19 restrictions, we had to resort to recording these readings behind closed doors in compliance with H&S requirements.

It argues that the biopic is a necessary category because producers, reviewers and cinemagoers have significant investments in biographical subjects, and because biopics construct a ‘public history’ for a broad audience.
