Información de esta película

On March 5th, 2013, San Francisco’s skyline was transformed by an amazing sight: 25,000 LED lights that, for perhaps the first time save the 1989 earthquake, caused people to consider the Bay Bridge instead of her iconic sister. How did this happen? Who was behind the eight million-dollar installation? How in the world did they pull it off? The story behind the making of The Bay Lights—a project whose very “impossibility made it possible”—answers these questions, revealing the drama and the daring of artist Leo Villareal and a small team of visionaries who battle seemingly impossible challenges to turn a dream of creating the world’s largest LED light sculpture into a glimmering reality.

A well thought out documentary from first time director Jeremy Ambers. This wonderfully shot film with little to no budget really captures the scale and depth which is now know as the Bay Bridge Lights project. Impossible Light is truly an inspirational film for any public arts enthusiast looking to gain knowledge on how to make the impossible, possible in today's large scale public art exhibits. The interviews by Leo Villareal, Amy Critchett and Ben Davis are very detailed making sense of this enormous project. Great Work!!!

This is my feature length film debut. I hope you enjoy and learn from it as much as I did from making it.
