Impossible Light (2014)

Impossible Light follows internationally renowned artist Leo Villareal and his dedicated team as they set out to install 25,000 LED lights on the side of San Francisco's Bay Bridge for an abstract fine art sculpture known as The Bay Lights. How did it happen? Who was behind this eight-million-dollar installation? And how in the world did the artist, his team, and the city of San Francisco pull it off? Jeremy Ambers' illuminating, riveting documentary, 'Impossible Light' sheds light on these questions, while chronicling the drama and child-like daring behind a project whose 'impossibility made it possible.'
