Orson's Story
Authenticity is the foundation of human connection and building deeper, authentic connections has gotten harder.
Between remote work environments, political and social climates, and the new nature of social media, we are now worse at something we already struggled with… being human.
Orson uses the very thing we have all become atrophied by (technology), to help people connect authentically, pulling out the stories of their experiences, aspirations, fears, and dreams. We all have our own stories to tell, and when we share them with each other, we find common ground, empathy, and understanding. These are the very things that allow us to relate and find pieces of ourselves in others, and build deeper connections between us and our larger communities.
It doesn’t matter where you’re from, or what your cultural background is, stories have the power to connect us all. When we’re able to share our stories with others, we create meaningful connections that transcend differences (and boy does humanity need this now).
We are combining decades of documentary and unscripted film & tv experience with groundbreaking technology to help people share and discover those stories to connect in a more meaningful way.
Orson… coming to a human near you.
