Late Night with Carl Sagan

Shot entirely on an iPhone with homemade props and frame by frame animation, the video is a re-staging, a re-imagining, and an insomniac response to Sagan's iconic 1980 series. Poetic, existential, hopeful, the 'Cosmos' series is a timeless prophecy on humanity's place in the universe. Sagan talks to the subject with an attitude best described as wonder, in a manner that is wholly different than the position taken towards science by contemporary entertainment. Viewed late at night on Netflix, it becomes a participatory conversation, drifting into tangent, hyperbole, speculation, and intervention.
