Production
[edit]In an interview, producer Gerald Fox shared that he was initially working on a documentary about Russian violinist Dmitry Sitkovetsky.[2] While using old footage of Dmitri as a child and intercutting it with shots of his ten-year-old nephew playing violin, Fox recognized that children make for compelling documentary subjects.[1] He observed that children often respond well to the camera and identified a gap in the market for arts-focused television shows that catered to younger audiences in both the United States and the United Kingdom. Consequently, he decided to develop a new documentary series that would feature subjects that would be of interest to younger viewers.[1][2]
