Katy Wang & Gabriel Greenough | In the Path of Totality
What connects Bloomington, Indiana to Buffalo, New York? Or Austin, Texas to Akron, Ohio? At a surface level, it may not be much. But for a few minutes on a Monday in spring, they’ll be connected by a celestial event that, for many, will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will pass through towns and cities that are home to more than 30 million Americans. People will gather at town squares, festivals, science museums, breweries, garage parking lots, schoolyards and more. For several minutes, the magnificent power of the sun will be dimmed by the Moon, an object 1/400th of its size. The temperature will drop, birds will go quiet and a small part of our world will go dark.
Film commissioned People’s TV and The Simons Foundation. Directed, Designed & animated by Katy Wang & Gabriel Greenough Sound Design by Jennifer Pague
