Fusion-Produced Documentary "Science Fair" Wins First-Ever Festival Favorite Award At Sundance Film Festival

Facing off against 1,700 of the smartest, quirkiest teens from 78 different countries, only one will be named Best in Fair.

Science Fair was directed by Cristina Costantini and Darren Foster and produced by Cristina Costantini, Darren Foster, Jeffrey Plunkett. The film was executive produced by Isaac Lee, Daniel Eilemberg, Keith Summa, and George Lansbury. Cinetic Media is representing the film.
