Today was the first Pangea Day- a global event bringing the world together through film. I had the great pleasure of being part of the live taping in Los Angeles. Here is a behind the scenes look at this monumental day.

The taping took place at Sony Studios inside historic Stage 15 where Dorothy followed the yellow brick road and Spider Man leaped from rooftops.
