OVERVIEW

Richard Feynman is one of the most widely celebrated physicists of his generation. Following his death in 1988, a sealed envelope was discovered among his personal effects. Inside was a letter written by Feynman to his high-school sweetheart and first wife Arline, unearthing a private tragedy that he had suffered when he was just 28. We are seeking to create a short film to dramatise this powerful letter...

FRIENDS OF OUR FILM

Michelle Feynman

Feynman’s daughter Michelle is the person who made this film possible. In addition to granting us the rights to the letter, she has also been very generous with her time, offering insights and support throughout.

Ralph Leighton

Feynman’s friend, biographer, and self-described ‘sidekick’, Ralph’s support has been invaluable throughout this entire process. From donating signed books to countless early morning Skype calls, his guidance has been indispensable.

Caltech University

Caltech University has been a friend to this production since we first approached them. They generously allowed us to have a presence at Feynman 100, their centenary celebration for Feynman, and have granted us access to their archives.
