Embisivle Tech from an Embisivle Drama

April 14, 2021 HWMS Production

Zeppelins. Silicon Valley was once the home of Zeppelins. Giant Airships would silently glide out of their hanger and rise into the sky, undertaking cutting edge missions for the U. S. Navy. It was a sign of the areas importance, a sign of its role in creating new technologies. And of course, that era is over and it ended badly. Another backstage look from the cast of the new Drama Cast:
