World history / long-form video
Videos in development / 10 min → 1 hr
Watch the story. Feel what history leaves behind.
Some stories need ten minutes. Some need the full hour. The slate moves from overlooked places to dark turns in the record, with enough context to make the feeling last.

Find the story under the surface.
Start with a place, chase a time period, or follow the people history pushed to the edge. Every film takes a different route. The standard doesn’t.
Destination / context
Every place has a second story.
Start with a destination, then look past the postcard for the context, contradictions, and human stakes that make it worth understanding.
How to watch
Raw enough to surprise. Rigorous enough to trust.
The tone is direct, curious, and a little irreverent. The research stays careful: documented facts, disputed details, and interpretation should never blur together.
No postcard gloss
Start with the image everyone recognizes, then ask what it leaves out.
Show the receipts
Separate what is documented from what is disputed, inferred, or still unknown.
Keep the weird parts
Cinematic AI-assisted visuals bring atmosphere; the story keeps its human stakes.
The rule of the road
“The postcard is never the whole story.”
