Panel discussion, December 3, 2005
Riklis Theater, Museum of the Moving Image
The prolific directing-producing team of Ron Howard and Brian Grazer has made more than 25 films since they founded Image Entertainment in 1986. Their movies Apollo 13 and A Beautiful Mind - which explore the worlds of physics, engineering, mathematics, and psychology - are the two most acclaimed and popular films made in the past decade that depict the lives and the working methods of scientists. The films earned a combined seventeen Academy Award nominations, and won six Academy Awards. The day before the Museum’s gala Salute to Ron Howard at the Waldorf-Astoria, Howard and Grazer spoke at the Museum of the Moving Image with Chief Curator David Schwartz in a discussion about science and film, and their collaborative filmmaking process.
