Secrets from a Forest is perhaps one of
the most exciting and largest projects
in my long 50-year career. My team from
Bristol, UK, and I feel we have broken new
ground in live action dome movie production.

In November we premiered an innovative new planetarium show,
Secrets from a Forest. Led by the artistic vision of award-winning
nature photographer Jim Brandenburg, award-winning director
Neil Lucas, and featuring members of the Minnesota Orchestra, the
original production tells an inspiring story about artistic expression
and the natural world.
This planetarium show has been in development since 2019 and through strong part-
nerships, artistic vision, and technological innovation began filming in Italy in 2021.
