Innovative Lives: Beverly Wood

Meet Beverly Wood, an innovator in color technologies for major motion pictures. She began working as an analytical chemist in the early 1980s before moving from the East Coast of the U.S. to the West Coast-a move which greatly influenced the trajectory of her work. Her specialized knowledge of chemistry, engineering, and filmmaking led to her award-winning contributions to the creation and development of Color Contrast Enhancement (CCE) and Adjustable Contrast Enhancement (ACE) motion picture processes.
During this live virtual interview, you will be inspired by the story of Wood's career, guiding cinematographers through the transition from chemical to digital technology, which changed how we see films today.
