We create stories that explore resilience, care, connection, and the pursuit of becoming fully ourselves. Through long form documentaries and television, our work reaches global audiences with human centered storytelling that is both cinematic and deeply personal.
Our mission driven wellness products extend these narratives beyond the screen, encouraging people to live with intention, expand their perspective, and move through the world with empathy and hope.
Story exists at the core of human experience. It shapes how we understand the past, imagine the future, and connect with one another. At its best, storytelling does more than entertain. It reminds us what it means to be human.

TITLE TBD - The Charlie Lin Story
The Charlie Lin Story is a deeply personal, visually rich documentary that follows 14-year-old Charlie Lin after a life-altering traumatic brain injury sustained while skiing. What begins as a fight to recover evolves into something far more powerful, a story of becoming. Through the lens of neuroplasticity, family, community, and the healing force of nature, the film traces Charlie’s journey alongside his father and National Geographic Explorer, Albert Lin, whose own past trauma uniquely positions him to guide his son forward. Blending intimate home footage with cinematic adventure, science, the film reframes recovery not as a return to who we were, but as the courageous process of discovering who we are meant to be. This 90 minute premium feature documentary is currently in production.
THE BARREL PROJECT - The Albert Lin Story
The Barrel Project follows explorer and scientist Albert Lin as he paddles into the ocean on a physical/spiritual quest, not to discover a lost civilization, but to ride inside a wave. After surviving a life altering car accident that cost him his right leg, Albert sets out to achieve a lifelong dream he never accomplished before his injury: getting barreled, one of surfing’s most dangerous and spiritually charged moments. The film traces his journey from trauma to transcendence, revealing how Albert became his own scientific experiment, rewiring his brain to overcome phantom limb pain through cutting edge neuroscience, precision prosthetics, and ancient spiritual practices. As he travels from research labs to remote coastlines across America and the Pacific, guided by elite mentors and the pull of the ocean itself, the pursuit of a single wave becomes a gateway into flow state, belief, and human resilience. This is a film about surfing that is not really about surfing at all. It is about what happens when science, spirit, and sheer will collide, and how even when we cannot control what life throws at us, we always retain the power to choose how we move through it.
ICELAND - The Realm of Magic
National Geographic Explorer Albert Lin embarks on a quest to uncover the origins of the Norse Myths. This journey begins with the enigmatic Icelandic manuscripts that first captured the mysterious Norse Myths in writing, and then goes deep into Iceland’s wild landscapes; volcanoes, glaciers, and storms. These ancient tales aren’t just stories; they’re keys to understanding how we’ve made sense of a world seemingly full of magic for centuries. What inspired these sagas, and why do they still hold so much power over us?
TEBO 1 - The Cave of Care
In a remote cave system in Borneo, archaeologists uncovered the skeleton of a young boy who underwent a successful surgical leg amputation 31,000 years ago — the oldest known evidence of complex surgery and long-term care in human history. This stunning discovery fundamentally reshapes how we understand early humans: not merely as survivalists, but as compassionate, imaginative, and deeply interconnected beings.
TEBO 1 is a groundbreaking, multi-platform storytelling project that brings this ancient moment into sharp focus through the lenses of science, technology, and empathy. Through an upcoming feature film, immersive VR experience, and a traveling modular exhibit, we aim to reframe our shared origin story around the choice to care.
This original scripted feature is currently in development.

EDGE ELEMENTS
Edge Elements is where lived experience becomes practical tools for human thriving.
Born from firsthand transformative encounters with injury, recovery, and adaptation, Edge Elements brings together the essential elements that help us endure, heal, and expand. These are responsibly sourced ingredients and functional tools shaped by ancient medicinal wisdom, informed by modern science, personal experience, and rooted in nature.
We see nature, ancient knowledge, and modern research not as separate authorities — but as great collaborators. Nature holds the intelligence. Ancient traditions carry the memory of what has sustained humanity. Science tests, refines, and translates that wisdom for the present moment. Together, they form a living system of resilience.
Edge Elements exists to build a mission-driven platform for whole-human healing — an integrated ecosystem of supplements, functional products, education, and daily practices designed to support strength, recovery, clarity, and long-term adaptability.
This is not about trends or surface-level optimization. It is about equipping humans to face the edge, because that is where we are always living — at the boundary of adaptation and discovery.
The edge is not a marketing metaphor. It is the human condition. Through ethically sourced formulations, transparent science, and practices drawn from cultures that have understood resilience for centuries, Edge Elements is developing a subscription-based ecosystem that supports sustained transformation.
Together, Lets find our Edge.

PUBLIC SPEAKING
Albert Lin is, quite literally, a modern-day high-tech explorer, blurring the boundaries between man and machine while redefining how we explore our own humanity. He stands out as one of the most prominent and versatile amputees worldwide, having lost his leg in 2016. Lin maintains a relentless quest into the farthest reaches of our planet, employing a technologist’s approach to unearth captivating stories of both humanity and the natural world.
His journey began with the Valley of the Khans project, a pioneering initiative that harnessed technology to search for Genghis Khan’s tomb. Leveraging an innovative tool kit of forest- and ground-penetrating technologies, Lin scoured vast terrains while respecting the traditional beliefs of Indigenous communities, which called for noninvasive exploration. This project marked the genesis of his application of similar approaches that led to groundbreaking discoveries across the globe.
One of his most noteworthy accomplishments involves using lidar (laser mapping) and cutting-edge technologies to uncover ancient cities concealed beneath the canopies of remote jungles, mountain ranges, and deserts. These remarkable expeditions have been brought to a global audience in various adventure-driven factual TV series, including “Lost Treasures of the Maya,” “Buried Secrets of the Bible,” and “Lost Cities with Albert Lin.” Beyond ancient history, Lin’s “seeing the invisible” mantra extends to the natural world, where his curiosity gives way to awe, as showcased on National Geographic’s “Welcome to Earth” and “Explorer.” Lin’s uniquely approachable personality and “be-there-with-me” style that merges science, adventure and discovery has become the hallmark of his storytelling.
With a Ph.D. in science and engineering, Lin’s chops add to his authenticity. Early in his career, he was the driving force behind National Geographic’s pioneering crowdsourcing effort to assist his expedition in Mongolia, using satellite imagery and public participation, a concept he transformed into the platform known as Tomnod, which has since engaged millions of individuals in projects ranging from search and rescue missions to humanitarian and environmental monitoring. His broad imagination has since led to multiple university research centers, clinical trials and technology startups, earning him numerous awards for his discoveries and inventions. But, as he has always said, “Innovation is just one way to serve the deeply human desire to explore our frontiers.”
Ultimately, Lin defines a new age of exploration. He has scaled the imposing walls of Yosemite’s El Capitan, traversed the arid deserts of Arabia, and dove into the deepest underground lakes in Africa with cutting-edge technologies in his backpack, all in the pursuit of a lifelong sense of wonder. Today, as a globally recognized explorer and a trailblazing amputee, he stands as an inspiration and advocate for the indomitable human spirit.
