ABOUT:
Made on Earth
“In a world where artificial intelligence can create ‘art’, what’s the point of making anything?”
“In a world where work is automized, what does it mean to live a fulfilling life?”
Made on Earth is a documentary series that speaks to the heart of crafting a life of fulfillment - each episode featuring a different artist, artisan, and maker who, in their own unique ways, are living examples of those who dare to listen to their inner calling.
In a world increasingly more integrated with technology and convenience, this is an exploration on the things that can never be replaced by AI or factory-made products: a fulfilling life.
This series is more than just a collection of episodes, it’s an invitation into a new way of being. A call to follow your own heart, to dare to dream, and to find what it means for you to truly craft a life of joy.
Shot through a poetic and immersive lens, the series captures the inner and outer worlds of its subjects—the struggle, joy, presence, and transformation born through making. It is a meditation on what remains deeply human: the desire to create, to feel, to contribute, and to live with meaning.
Made by human hands, for human hearts.
