LOGLINE & DIRECTION
(the goal of the content)
Create original programming for Sounds True One and external licensing that fulfills our mantra of "entertain me while you change me." We produced a wide range of content by filming new content, repurposing older content in fresh ways, and knocking on the door of top spiritual luminaries.
THE STRATEGY
Knowing that Sounds True One as an app and offering was being launched in its infant stage we needed to make sure the content we created hit a wide audience and gave us quick viewing data to know what was sticking and what wasn't. We created Mystics Today (45-60min episodes) for the current Sounds True audience, Inside Change (22min episodes) for Millennials & Gen Z, and In the Flow for all ages who wanted a shorter experience.
Through qualitative viewing data and qualitative interviews we were able to focusing in our second round of content and create additional seasons of platform favorites and external distribution interests.

TRAILER
SHOW OVERVIEW
In The Flow takes powerful archived teachings by some of the world's greatest spiritual teachers and remixes them into one-of-a-kind immersive meditations. Using a combination of bespoke visuals, a grammy award-winning artist, and potent short teachings, the show leaves the viewer tranquil and reflective. With a backdrop of indie electronic music, In the Flow pushes the boundaries of meditation into the modern world of music videos.
SHOW DESIGN
We were inspired by the colorful and vibrant nature of the 60s. When love was flowing like a waterfall. In the Flow takes classic teachings that are still relevant today and puts a new twist on them. Using that as our core concept, we took a modern spin on the lovely designs from the 60s.

SHOW DESIGN
Justin Michael Williams is electric on stage. We captured that feeling of a rock show and shifted into a vibrant Miami color palette. Added a fog machine and "voila!" were on stage, mic in hand, and the speakers are blasting.

SHOW DESIGN
When you have deep cosmic conversations about the fabric of the universe or that everything is made of angels, you go cosmic for the design too. But still ground it on Earth. We used the Aurora Borealis, some photoshop magic, and cast light to pull it all together.
