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!
