Title_card_large

BDH designs for Beautiful Young Minds, the story from Blast! Films of some of the brightest mathematical brains of a generation. Each year, exceptionally gifted teenagers from over 90 countries compete for medals at the International Mathematical Olympiad.

The film follows a group of brilliant teenagers as they battle it out to become the chosen six selected to represent the UK.

“It’s purely observational, fly-on-a-blackboard, painstakingly filmed over several months, in several countries. And the result is, as Spellbound was, a lovely film about extraordinary people.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian.
