AM WORKING WITH NASA-JPL PHYSICIST ON A NEW PROJECT

My partner, a 20-year physicist from NASA is enlightening me on the Solar gravitational lens and exoplanets.

Simulations suggest Kepler 62-f is "a strong candidate for a habitable planet"
IS KEPLER 62-f A HABITABLE PLANET?

The Seventy-Billion-Mile Telescope

FOCAL does have many limitations—beyond the fact that it requires technology that no one has built. Gravitational lenses are uniquely distorting. For example, in this photo from the Hubble Space Telescope, a cluster of galaxies acts as a gravitational lens, magnifying a single galaxy far, far beyond it, which would ordinarily be invisible to us. Due to the physics of gravitational lenses, the galaxy appears multiple times, in a ring. Resolving such distortion is complicated enough with optical images in which we already have a rough idea of what the observed object looks like. A radio message from an alien civilization would be even more challenging to reconstruct.

We have created a show that will film on 3 continents.

More to come

THANK YOU! HONORED AT LOS ANGELES MOVIE AWARDS ~ WE NEED MORE WOMEN DIRECTORS!

THANK YOU! HONORED AT LOS ANGELES MOVIE AWARDS ~ WE NEED 

It would be great to have more women directors. I was honored at the Los Angeles Movie Awards for directing It's My Decision, a mafia comedy, written by Ralph Odierna and produced by Tetia E. Stroud. Damian Martorana edited and Frank Buono was DP.  What artistry!  Buono did Julianne Moore's "Children of Men."  

And I am so excited to have finally finished writing 40 episodes and a 3-book series, and to be directing original upcoming comedy projects.

We should encourage more women to break through the glass ceiling. Here are some startling statistics:



Women directed only 4 percent of the top movies over the past 13 years—and it’s time to change that. Watch to hear what major film industry players have to say about the issue. Watch the full series when it premieres on EPIX on March 8th.
