Terra Draconis: posterity and prosperity of fossils in the modern age, 22min., USA
Directed by Braeden Clete Meyer
Since its inception as a commercial interest in the 19th century, a growing debate has formed around vertebrate fossils to collect, research, and sell significant specimens on the world stage. In 1997, the most-complete Tyrannosaurus Rex specimen found to date, Sue, was auctioned off to the Chicago Field Museum for an unprecedented $8.3 million.

16 years in the making, “Growing Up” focuses on Fernando Pullum and the impact he’s had on thousands of youth in South Central Los Angeles. Through music Fernando rose above his own harrowing childhood and for decades he’s passed that gift along to his students. Graduates of Pullum’s program have gone on to play with Beyonce?, Bruno Mars, Stevie Wonder, and Snoop Dogg, been recipients of 6 Grammy Awards; but he’s proudest of their growth as men and women. “When I started teaching, I just wanted to make whole people. I had no idea that I would be creating artists.”
