“I collaborated with Academy Award-winning director James Cameron on a 3D Imax film that recounts our expedition to revisit the wreckage of the Titanic. I’ll recall the exhilaration and the initial apprehension of descending nearly 14,000 feet beneath the ocean’s surface in submersible crafts. This talk features behind-the-scenes stories along with segments of my work on this amazing documentary which revealed Titanic’s eternal beauty.”
