Stories · In development

Something matters.
So someone begins.

Documentaries about people working with AI, following the personal reasons, ordinary work and consequential turns of an attempt.

01 · The personal reason

Before the technology,
there is a reason to try.

Care. Ambition. Curiosity. A question someone keeps returning to. Dwar begins with people who have already started.

A prosthetic for a dog

Love begins the attempt.

Their dog lost a leg. They want to explore an adjustable prosthetic with AI, prototypes and the guidance of a veterinarian. The story would follow what they learn and whether a design could be appropriate.

Finding a fraction of a second

Another start. A better question.

A runner keeps losing time and wants to understand where. AI could help compare attempts and suggest what to investigate. The next run, and the measurements behind it, would reveal what actually changes.

These illustrative concepts introduce the stories we’re developing.

02 · The attempt

Stay with the work.
Let the outcome remain open.

The proposed series follows people making choices, seeking help, building and testing. The person remains the author of the attempt. We want to work beside them and give that journey a form people can follow.

What matters?

The personal stakes, the constraints and what the person hopes to make possible.

What changes?

A suggestion, a failed test, a useful expert or a decision that changes the next attempt.

What holds up?

Progress, a revised question or a well-supported decision to stop. Each journey needs its own standard of evidence.

03 · A journey to follow

The next attempt
changes the story.

A different start. An unexpected test result. Someone who sees a way forward. Film and music can bring us close to the work and to what it means for the person pursuing it.

Anticipation

The runner makes a change and returns to the starting line.

Visible progress

The next run, and its measurements, reveal whether the change helped.

A personal stake

A fraction of a second means something to the person who keeps coming back.

We are exploring a documentary series alongside shorter work for YouTube and Instagram. Each return would bring people closer to the journey, while new questions, useful expertise and support could find their way back into the work.

04 · Production & support

Make the possibilities
tangible.

A journey can help someone recognise a use for AI in their own life. We want to explore that possibility through credible stories, with the person’s effort, collaborators and tools visible in the work.

Develop the films

We’re developing a distinctive series and welcome an experienced documentary partner to help shape the stories, participant relationships and filmmaking approach.

Talk about production

Support the attempt

Model access, equipment, expertise and time could make a meaningful contribution. A sponsor could help bring useful applications into view, with agreed recognition and material approved for public use. Audience interest and informed tool use are possibilities to investigate.

Talk about sponsorship

The work needs room for an honest outcome. Sponsorship would support that work while preserving editorial judgment and scientific review.
