Drew Student of animation who has never had a passing grade and must repeat my lessons ad infinitum. Jon I am a director, writer, and producer. When I started out, I tried to get a job at Drew’s animation company in San Francisco Colossal Pictures. The job was primarily to sweep the studio and take out the garbage. I didn’t get the job, and my care...
Drew: I wanted to become a cinematographer but failed. I started a company with Gary Gutierrez to do a project that required live-action with animation. He was the animation guy, and I did the live-action. It all changed when he went off to shoot live-action effects for The Right Stuff, and I took over making idents for the newly formed MTV. One mi...
Jon: A Trip to Infinity is a true collaboration. Jason Spingarn-Koff, the Netflix executive, was fearless enough to commission an animated documentary about the search for infinities in reality and then became an amazing collaborator in shaping the story. 1. Alex Ricciardi, editor and co-writer, is the best editor we’ve ever worked with. 2. Angus W...
Drew: The spine of the film was from interviews. With our inability to go to infinity to shoot footage, we had to make up the visuals. The challenge presented by the content argued for very different visual approaches pushing us to approach animators with unique styles and techniques.
Jon: I was a horrible math student. Barely made it out of high school with the necessary prerequisites. But I was always intrigued by math and loved reading about it, especially infinity. How can one not be fascinated by infinity? Do numbers go on forever? Will the universe?
It isn’t the pitch to the Fast and the Furiousor the next true crime doco. So… how did it get greenlit? I’ll never really know.
Jon: Netflix’s commission came in two steps. First was development, during which we wrote a full treatment and budget for the film. This took around half a year. The treatment was based on intensive collaboration with Angus Wall from MakeMakeand a team of mathematicians and scientists, Carlo Rovelli, Moon Duchin and Steven Strogatz. The film then t...
Jon: Here is how we did it. Like everything else in the movie business, it comes down to casting. Finding the cast of scientists and mathematicians took six months. The next step is extensive pre-interviews on the phone. From these pre-interviews, we wrote a script. This script isn’t so much about specific words or beats but rather the overall stru...
Drew: I was always good at math, but after taking calculus stopped being a practitioner. My love of the subject continued through reading biographies and watching presentations on blackboards that were too dense for my abilities. What fascinated me was the depth of pursuit after problems that seemed to have so little utility or impact (until, of co...
Jon: For 18 months, every day at noon, Drew, Alex (editor, co-writer), Serin Marshall, Ivan Bess (producer) and I, got together in the same zoom room. Some days that meeting lasted a few minutes, and others, hours. I miss that Zoom room. It is empty right now — waiting for us to sell the next project.
