A Global Call for Stories, Partners & Collaborators
Trusted Corporation, together with BIG Media, is developing The Future Is Already Here, a six-part global documentary series exploring breakthrough technologies that are turning what once existed only in science fiction into reality.
The series will be filmed globally, taking audiences inside laboratories, companies, research institutions, cities and extraordinary real-world environments to meet the scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs and innovators building technologies that could shape the future.
But this is not only a documentary about technology.
THE FUTURE ARRIVED BEFORE WE WERE READY
For decades, science fiction imagined intelligent machines, robots, autonomous systems, augmented humans and technologies capable of transforming society.
Now they are becoming real.
AI has already entered our everyday lives. Robotics and autonomous systems are following. Technologies once confined to laboratories are beginning to move into society, often faster than our policies, institutions and social systems can adapt.
The Future Is Already Here will explore not only what is becoming possible, but what happens when we actually start living with it.
The series will bring together:
THE PEOPLE WHO IMAGINED IT
Actors • Writers • Artists • Science-Fiction Creators
THE PEOPLE BUILDING IT
Scientists • Engineers • Researchers • Entrepreneurs • Technology Leaders
THE PEOPLE THINKING ABOUT WHAT COMES NEXT
Historians • Professors • Futurists • Philosophers • Social Scientists • Policymakers
Together, we will explore how society can prepare for these changes and how emerging technologies can be used positively to improve human life.
THE FUTURE IS ALREADY HERE. THE QUESTION IS WHAT WE DO WITH IT.
WE'RE SEARCHING THE WORLD
We are looking for the:
“WAIT, THIS ALREADY EXISTS?” MOMENT.
We want to discover extraordinary technologies, people and places that can make audiences see the future differently.
We are particularly interested in stories that are:
BREAKTHROUGH
Opening possibilities that previously seemed impossible.
VISUAL
Technologies, experiments and environments audiences can actually see and experience.
HUMAN
Driven by scientists, engineers, researchers or entrepreneurs with compelling stories.
REAL
Already being researched, built, tested, demonstrated or deployed.
TRANSFORMATIVE
Capable of changing how we live, work, move, heal, communicate or explore.
WHAT WE'RE EXPLORING

HOW CAN YOU BE PART OF IT?
01 SUBMIT A STORY OR PERSPECTIVE
Are you building something the world should know about?
We welcome submissions from:
Companies & Startups
Scientists & Engineers
Universities & Research Institutions
Founders & Technology Leaders
Potential participation can include technology demonstrations, interviews, real-world applications and filming inside laboratories, factories, research facilities and other extraordinary locations.
We are also interested in hearing from historians, professors, futurists, philosophers, artists, writers, social scientists and other thinkers who can help us explore what these technologies could mean for humanity and society.
Submission Deadline: October 16, 2026 SUBMIT YOUR STORY
02 BECOME A PARTNER
Help us bring the future to audiences around the world.
We are inviting organizations that share our ambition to support the documentary and the broader global platform being built around it.
We welcome conversations from:
Corporate Sponsors Production Partners Foundations & Philanthropic Partners Technology Partners Airlines & Travel Partners Hotels & Hospitality Partners Filming & Location Partners Production & Equipment Partners
Partnership can include financial sponsorship as well as travel, accommodation, locations, technology, equipment, services and other forms of production support.
Help us bring the future to audiences around the world.
Sponsorship does not influence editorial selection.
Organizations do not need to sponsor or financially contribute to be considered or featured in the documentary. Stories are selected independently based on their strength, breakthrough potential and relevance to the editorial vision of the series.
03 CREATE AN EXPERIENCE WITH US
Take the documentary beyond the screen
Our ambition is to build a global community around the future, connecting audiences with the technologies, ideas and people explored in the documentary.
Together with partners in different cities, we are exploring:
Sci-Fi & Future Weeks Actor x Scientist Conversations Technology Showcases & Live Demonstrations
Immersive Exhibitions
Future-Focused Talks
Executive Events
Special Screenings
Premieres
Fan & Community Experiences
Student & Young Innovator Programs
We welcome collaboration with cinema groups, entertainment companies, real estate developers, hotels and hospitality groups, museums, event organizers, universities, innovation hubs, cities, governments and destination partners.
04 HELP US FIND THE FUTURE
Know something extraordinary we should see?
Some of the world's most remarkable technologies and researchers may be completely unknown outside their industries or countries.
We are building a global network of government agencies, innovation organizations, accelerators, investors, universities, industry associations, chambers of commerce and technology ecosystems to help us find them.
BECOME A GLOBAL ECOSYSTEM PARTNER
Help us discover exceptional scientists, startups, companies, universities, research projects, technologies and filming locations within your country or ecosystem.
