Dream Big
Mel Z with civil engineer, Menzer Pehlivan at Ocean 98.5 studios

It’s time to dream big! And if there was any place to do that, it’s at IMAX Victoria

Narrated by Academy Award® winner Jeff Bridges, this is the story told by DREAM BIG, marking the first film for IMAX® and giant-screen theatres to answer the call of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) initiative – which offers a fresh perspective on engineering and aims to inspire kids of diverse backgrounds to become the innovators, educators and leaders who will improve the lives of people across our entire planet throughout the 21st Century.

I had the opportunity to meet one of the civil engineers featured in this IMAX film, Menzer Pehlivan. Menzer grew up in Turkey and was inspired to become an engineer after witnessing the devastation of a huge earthquake. After hearing Menzer’s story, she inspired me.
