How is technology changing our emotional experience of being human?

emotional experience of being human?

We started by experimenting with unique ways of filming authentic, emotional conversations. These explorations grew to become our first Emmy award winning project {THE AND}.

In the journey since, we have produced over 1,200 honest and authentic conversations around the world, exploring human connection in all its forms through the format of {THE AND} and other award winning interactive storytelling projects and live experiences.

As our community has expanded, so have our offerings. {THE AND} has grown from video, to live events, an app, podcast series, book and card games for people to explore all kinds of relationships, loved by millions of people around the world.

Our purpose remains anchored in creating opportunities for people to deepen the richness of their relationships and the experience of being human, at every stage of their life.

We continue to explore widely through documentary, interactive storytelling, live experiences, card games, books, digital toolkits, podcasts and new creative partnerships.

We are incredibly grateful for your support over the years and hope that our products and experiences continue to inspire meaningful connections and conversations.

One moment, one conversation, one relationship at a time.

Thank you for being a part of our story.

The Skin Deep Team

Made by humans,

for humans.

We're a small, global team, spread across time zones but united by a single belief: that moments of deeper connection have the power to transform lives, and to build a more empathetic world.

I believe the experience of deeper human connection can transform our relationships, our lives and our society. I’ve seen it happen over and over again from behind the camera filming {THE AND}. 

Our work at The Skin Deep is to amplify and illuminate our shared humanity, so we can contribute towards a more compassionate and empathetic world.
