Very excited to announce a new show, Hungry Planet, coming to PBS Terra! It’s my first time showrunning and directing, in collaboration with STEMedia®, and I’m so excited for you to see what we’ve put together! Hungry Planet started as an idea in my head five years ago to bring scientists and stakeholders together over food to talk about the awesome science that goes into feeding people. But, it took this incredible team to come together, mold and shape that idea into something we could all believe in, and make it a reality. I’m so excited especially to be working with Stephanie Castillo on this project. She took a chance on submitting ideas to PBS together, and now almost four years after being Jackson Wild Media Lab fellows together, we’re coproducers on a PBSDS show! Stephanie is not just a brilliant and creative filmmaker, but also an organized, get-it-done producer. Nothing on this project would get done without her incredible talent. We learned so much in filing our pilot episode about rice, dropping next Tuesday! I hope you’ll join us for that and the rest of our season, which covers corn, citrus, and more!
We're excited to launch our second show for PBS Digital Studios called Hungry Planet. Hungry Planet is a show that explores how scientists and communities are working towards ways to keep delicious food on our tables for years to come. We are partnering with Helicase Media LLC to bring this show to your screens in addition to a fantastic team to produce this series, including: Alex Dainis, showrunner Stephanie Castillo and Dr. Nehemiah J. Mabry, P.E., executive producers Niba Audrey Nirmal, series host Taylor D. Adams, camera & editor Rodney Johnson, animations Nora Bradford, assistant writer and Keaton Lusk, MA, all things sound Our first episode drops Tuesday, August 15th.
