Infinity Films
The Infinity Films supports filmmakers whose work illuminates the human spirit and advances new ideas in art and science. We believe film is one of the most powerful ways to spark curiosity and connect communities, and we provide resources, mentorship, and support to help bring these stories to life.
Past projects include The Man Who Knew Infinity, the story of mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan, and Freud’s Last Session, which explores the meeting between Sigmund Freud and C.S. Lewis. Beyond production, we also support impact campaigns that host screenings, panels, and discussions that engage audiences in dialogue around these important stories.

The Infinite Reel
Maryam Mirzakhani
​
Currently in development, A feature film inspired by the life of mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani, the first woman to win the Fields Medal. Maryam explores the beauty and isolation of genius, tracing her journey from Tehran to Stanford as she redefines mathematics through imagination, persistence, and grace.
Emmy Noether
Currently in development, The Noether Circle follows a group of contemporary mathematicians and artists connected by the legacy of Emmy Noether, the groundbreaking German theorist whose ideas transformed physics and symmetry. The film examines how her invisible influence continues to shape the way we understand the universe.
Foot Note
Based on the Oscar-nominated and Cannes prize-winning Israeli film Footnote, this U.S. remake reimagines the story within the world of oceanography and climate science. A father and son—both brilliant academics—find themselves in a bitter rivalry when a breakthrough discovery brings the possibility of a Nobel Prize. Set against the urgency of climate change, the film blends intimate family drama with global stakes, exploring pride, legacy, and the cost of recognition.
Sally Ride
A feature in development celebrating the life of Sally Ride, physicist, astronaut, and pioneer. The film explores her quiet strength, her groundbreaking journey as the first American woman in space, and the profound ways she inspired generations to look upward—with curiosity, courage, and wonder
Louie Armstrong
A feature in development exploring Louis Armstrong as both a musical revolutionary and a quiet force in the civil rights movement. The film traces his journey from New Orleans to the world stage, revealing how his art became an act of defiance and diplomacy—bridging racial divides through the universal language of sound.
Zaha Hadid
A visionary architect whose work reshaped the language of space, Zaha Hadid fused mathematics, movement, and imagination into architecture that felt alive. Her buildings—fluid, futuristic, and fearless—blurred the boundaries between art and engineering. From the London Aquatics Centre to the Guangzhou Opera House, Hadid proved that structure could move like music and that geometry itself could be a form of poetry.
