The seismic tremors that the October Revolution sent through Germany, Hungary and Italy are well known to students of the post-World War One Europe.

ANYA is a love story and genetics mystery coming in 2019. The film began in 2014 with Jacob's seemingly random question: how do species diverge?

They connected us with two amazing geneticists at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Ting Wu and Dr. Ruth McCole lent their research on ultra-conserved elements of DNA to the film and...
