Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, COSMOS

Yes - THAT Neil deGrasse Tyson! Dr. Tyson is in New Mexico shooting the new season of COSMOS and sits down on location to talk with FILMCAST about a variety of things: his path to science, the early challenges, his somewhat reluctant turn as one of the most recognizable scientists in the world and much more including, well…THE UNIVERSE. He’s a very engaging guest… you won’t be bored with this one.

What do you consider to be a unique location in your jurisdiction?

People love the Rail Yards - especially if you’re a hair band from the 80’s looking to shoot a music video (that’s Carrie’s jam – call her to be an extra). We love the homes around Roma and 12th – think LA 1940’s. Alicia loves the Central Grill and Coffee House– mostly because the pancakes are the bomb and the owner is nice to her.
