The Man Who Knew Infinity

Based on the untold story of
one of the greatest minds of his
generation, The Man Who Knew
Infinity charts the incredible life of
Srinivasa Ramanujan, whose genius
for mathematics takes him from
the slums of India to Trinity College,
Cambridge University in the early
20th-century. Spurred on by his
mentor G. H. Hardy, Ramanujan
overcomes racism and the rigidity
of academia to revolutionize the
field with his startlingly original
theorems, which he attributes to
divine inspiration. A fascinating look
at how an unlikely, cross-cultural
friendship changed the world.

Lives Well Lived
* Sneak Peek * Work in Progress *
USA • 2016 • 76min • Documentary Feature
What is the definition of a Life
Well Lived? We asked forty people
aged 75-100 with a collective life
experience of 3000 years who
shared with us their secrets, wit,
and wisdom. Forty voices, one
shared history of lives well lived.
The Lives Well Lived project captures
the images, ideas and ideals of
those who are proving that aging
is something to cherish, not dread.
That retirement doesn't mean you
retire from life. And that growing
older doesn't mean growing silent.
