Inspiring short film - A tribute to Carl Sagan

"Inspiring" is an apt description for this short film. With its swelling musical backgrounds, panoramic stellar vistas and PBS Nova©-like presentation, it instills the sense of wonder, discovery and exploration that epitomized the life and work of astronomer Carl Sagan.

Give it a whirl — It's only 10 minutes, and you just might come away *Inspired* yourself.

Storyline

Trivia
Part of the screenplay is based on an actual school essay by young Carl Sagan.

Quotes
Child Carl: Our Sun is also a star, not even the brightest nor the biggest... Just the closest! While it is important to us, it's hardly as unique as we'd like to think.

Crazy credits
Closing credits are not rolling in the usual direction (from the lower part of the screen towards the upper), but in reverse. This achieves the effect of camera ascending, rather than descending.
