The Parallax Project serves as a case study and model of new workflows designed to be more mental health friendly, inclusive, and supportive of underrepresented creatives.

The project explores an original transmedia IP centered around seeing from another perspective to conquer fears, challenging stigmas to discover your true self, and empowering diverse points of view to see beyond your limited perspective.

In a time where mental health and diversity are at the forefront of the social conversation, Parallax merges both into a magickly metaphorical journey.

THE GOAL

Studios don't always have the luxury to slow down and experiment with innovative approaches or major changes to their current systems. But as audiences are asking for diverse stories, we need to find ways to support more underrepresented creatives to transform from struggling artist to empowered director...and that takes systematic change.

Hedge Studio addresses this at multiple levels. For short term solutions adapted to the current system, talent development services allow you to draw from years of approaches developed for underrepresented creatives. For long term solutions that activate change, funding from talent development services funnel into The Parallax Project where innovative workflows are tested and refined. Projects will be staffed by underrepresented creatives and crews, providing studios with data and results they can implement, without the cost and time to experiment.  

By nurturing relationships with the studios through talent development services, studios are also able to request exploration into their own unique and forecasted challenges, that Hedge Studio will integrate into the Parallax Project.

DESIGNED FOR TRANSMEDIA

To maximize the impact and reach of the Parallax Project, it has been designed for transmedia from the beginning. Developing workflows for game, animation, comic, and live action will provide cross-medium insights to help inform innovative tactics for new workflows, and help creatives build deeper understanding of the unique strengths and opportunities of each medium.
