Jeanine Mason is changing the world…
The 34-year-old Cuban American actress and So You Think You Can Dance winner has wrapped on the Colorado-based production of The Man Who Changed the World, a drama spanning generations that’s inspired by the story of visionary entrepreneur Lawrence “Bud” Stoecker.
Mason stars opposite Christopher Lowell and Wallace Shawn in the film, which is directed by Greg Pritikin.
Lowell and Mason play a young couple navigating the trials of marriage, parenthood and personal legacy. Shawn co-stars as legendary futurist and systems theorist Buckminster Fuller, the architect of the geodesic dome, whose philosophies echo through the picture.
The story spans the 1940s, 1960s, and present day, with Illeana Douglas, Fred Stoller, Ted Lange and Matt Wood rounding out the cast.
“This is a story about how one family’s spirit of invention, resilience, and love rippled through generations,” Pritikin told us. “We’re thrilled to bring this to life with such a passionate cast and crew, and we can’t imagine a better place than Colorado to tell it.”
Written by Heidi James, the film is produced by Michael William Downey, Todd Remis and Jenny Napier. Dean Stoecker of the Colorado-based Ranch Productions served as executive producer.
Mason starred on the CW’s Roswell, New Mexico and has also been seen on shows like The Perfect Couple, Upload and Grey’s Anatomy, among many others.
