The Mysteries of the Giants
Script Editor
When a huge meteorite crashed into the earth 66 million years ago and caused the disappearance of the dinosaurs, some of the planet’s tiniest species survived the cataclysm, and—against all odds—eventually became some of the greatest giants to ever roam the earth. From the poles of the planet to the belly of the equator, this documentary sheds new light on four giant animals that are still a great mystery to science today: the Titanoboa snake, the Megalodon shark, the giant rhinoceros and the giant sloth.

Jerry Lewis: El Hombre Detrás del Payaso
Producer
Desde los primeros días, Jerry Lewis, siguiendo la línea de Chaplin, Keaton y Laurel, hizo reír al público con sus gags visuales, de mímica y de comedia física. Sin embargo, Lewis era mucho más que un payaso. También fue un cineasta innovador cuya curiosidad insaciable lo llevó a escribir, producir y dirigir muchas de las películas en las que apareció, lo que resultó en clásicos tan adorados como “The Bellboy”, “The Ladies Man”, “The Errand Boy” y “The Nutty Professor”. Este documental narra la extraordinaria vida y el genial trabajo de Jerry Lewis, uno de los intérpretes y cineastas cómicos más icónicos e incomparables de nuestro tiempo.

The Universe of Keith Haring
