Paul McCartney: MAGIC
When Paul McCartney calls you it feels like you’re dreaming- like an angel sent directly from God is somehow calling you. It’s an out-of-body magical experience.
Paul was set to start his latest world tour when he called to ask if I would direct the kick-off concert. It was supposed to be a normal gig. But somehow over the course of a few months we created a surreal movie experience that feels less like a concert film and more like a magic show.
You see, after the concert, we started calling each other back and forth. Our conversations would often turn existential. We would talk about who we are as human beings, what we are doing on this rock in space, and I asked him many questions about life itself. He very graciously allowed me to start recording these phone calls. And so I started collecting his beautiful perspective on life and some of the many lessons that he’s learned along the way. His vulnerability surprised me and his words have since given me hope whenever I get down.
We’re finishing the movie and I can’t wait to share this piece of magic with you. It’s sure to be a ray of light.

TrEES:
An IMAX film
An IMAX film about trees, made for kids.
We believe that this is the best thing that we can do to help the next generation. You see, there are millions of kids who live in urban areas that don't often spend much time outdoors. And when they do, they don't often think of trees as that "special". But we want to change that by getting into why trees are so cool and what we can learn from them. The way they think. The way they help each other. They way they communicate.
The question we pose in the very first minute of our film is simply this:
Since climate change is happening
and we are headed towards destruction
shouldn’t we ask our eldest
—the oldest living organism on Earth—
how it survived?
We're putting together the film now- we have been talking to the Achuar tribe in the Amazon who have a tremendous fondness for trees, as well as inviting some of the most recognizable young musicians to contribute music for the film.
