ROOT: This is VR/TV series (in development) about how humans ALMOST went extinct thanks to an AI assistant with the best intentions and how a digital woman in a mechanical body, a chef who rejects that digital afterlife, and both of their families work with others to rebuild the world.

My Forked Dating Life: Ready to hang up his lone-wolf status, a biker with a disability finds himself at a crossroads in his dating life. You can either help him out or fork things up as you choose who he dates in this interactive VR romantic-comedy.

Thematic(s)

ROOT: ROOT drops you into the future to experience first-hand the problem of climate-change. We need to experience this future if we are going to do anything about it. My writing partner and I make stories because they are the fastest way to unite and inspire us. In this new medium, you’ll experience a collaborative apocalypse story that’s the opposite of The Last of Us, where everyone must fend for themselves. Instead, think Lord of the Rings meets The Martian: an epic, cross country adventure where YOU and others must work together, solving one problem at a time, in order to survive this apocalypse or, fail and cease to exist. My Forked Dating Life: Our entire lives, we have been taught that there is one “RIGHT PERSON” out there for us, and that everyone else is “WRONG”. Do you know how much pressure this puts on our dating life? The fate of our future depends on every decision we made during dating. One wrong move, and we’ll end up with the “WRONG ONE”. *Gasp* My Forked Dating Life sets out to show that there is not just one right person for you; that you can take any path and that your experiences with people are valuable, no matter how ridiculous or how serious. By telling a story about the “WRONG ONES”, we show that there is a lot of good and bad that comes with any relationship. No one is PERFECT so even if you are lucky enough to find TRUE LOVE, there are still tough decisions to make on your journey. Let’s make forked choices together in this interactive Rom-Com!
