G33K Out: ‘The Man Who Unlocked the Universe’ Red Carpet
Note: This is a somewhat expanded audio version of the write up I did for Fandomopolis on June 22, 2018.
Episode 34: The Man Who Unlocked the Universe Red Carpet
You may not recognize the name Ulugh Beg, but he had an enormous impact on how we perceive science. The short film, “The Man Who Unlocked the Universe”, hopes to bring his name into the light.
Back in June, I attended the red carpet premiere for the short, and had a chance to talk to some of the people involved.
Basic show notes:
- Running time is 16 minutes, 5 seconds.
- The interviews were recorded on June 21, 2018.
- I interviewed:
- Francisco Ovalle, who plays the younger version of Ulugh Beg: you can find out more about him at his website;
- Armand Assante, who plays the older version of Ulugh Beg: you can find out more about him at his website;
- Azat Zhapekov, who was one of the producers of the movie
- And I sat in on an interview with Buzz Aldrin. You can see Cherry Davis’s video of his extended Q&A on YouTube. You can find out more about him on his website, and I heartily recommend you follow him on Twitter.
- The movie is available on Amazon Prime. More information is at the official website.
- The mid-show plug is from actor (and voice actor) Adam McArthur, who I interviewed in episode 29 at the red carpet for the movie Living Among Us.
- In this episode, “Angie Geeks Out” about Big Finish Audio, which I talked about briefly about in episode 30, when I covered this year’s Gallifrey One convention.
- Theme music is “Schoolyard Haze”, by JariPitkanen, available via the Free Music Archive.
