About 18 months ago I was asked to be in a film about creativity, math, science, engineering and imagination. So I shaved my mustache for the first time since I was eleven and headed down to the &#8220;shoot&#8221; at a Jetsons-influenced building adjacent to The California Science Center.<\/p>\n<p>The new documentary film, <a title=\"My film debut\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imagineitproject.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ondemand\/images\/homepage\/imit2.png\" target=\"_blank\">imagine it!\u00b2 The Power of Imagination<\/a>. is about connecting imagination and creativity with science and engineering in education. The 52-minute film inspires people to imagine a better world, unleash their creativity and take action to solve global challenges.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/imagineitproject.com\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"margin: 5px;\" title=\"DVD cover\" src=\"http:\/\/t1.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSJtFxe4hEyhnULWGBDwyy4n-5WPedrefAu7GLAm3My67QptdR6PoYNp_MxrA\" alt=\"DVVD cover\" \/><\/a>I am in august company for my film debut.

The other is that I need a wicked cool British accent like Sir Ken Robinson. He gets an exponentially greater amount of face-time than this humble blogger. He can really rock that accent.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Sir Ken <a title=\"definition of Bogarting\" href=\"http:\/\/www.urbandictionary.com\/define.php?term=bogart\" target=\"_blank\">bogarting<\/a> the film, some of my outtakes are on the Web for you to cherish for years to come.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/14159607\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Stager from film\" src=\"https:\/\/secure-b.vimeocdn.com\/ts\/825\/826\/82582646_295.jpg\" alt=\"Stager from film\" width=\"295\" height=\"166\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You may watch the film via the Web or purchase the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imagineitproject.com\/?p=861\" target=\"_blank\">imagine it!\u00b2 The Power of Imagination<\/a> DVD at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imagineitproject.com\/?p=1834\" target=\"_blank\">www.imagineitproject.com<\/a>.
