In this episode of the Filmmaker Mixer Podcast, we’re honored to be joined by award-winning filmmaker and physicist Mark Levinson (Particle Fever, The Bit Player) to discuss his latest film, The Universe in a Grain of Sand. A cinematic meditation on how we perceive and interpret the world, the film explores the interplay between science and art—from quantum computing to avant-garde cinema. Levinson invites us on a thought-provoking journey that connects scientific discovery with artistic exploration, revealing how both disciplines strive to make sense of nature’s most profound mysteries. We talk about the merging of abstract thought and visual storytelling, the challenge of making the invisible visible, and Levinson’s unique path from particle physics to powerful filmmaking.
