The people behind the film

Francis Hellyer is the executive producer and host of Tech To The Future, and the host of the Metaverse podcast.

His first big success came in internet ticketing, as the chief executive and co-founder of London Theatre Direct, which CoinDesk reported in 2014 as the first theatre ticket agency in the world to accept bitcoin.

Before the film, he wrote about deepfakes and digital likeness for Rolling Stone’s Culture Council, one of the ideas Tech To The Future explores on screen.

On the Metaverse podcast he talked to futurists, founders, investors and scientists about where technology is taking us. The episodes are on the episodes page, and written interviews from the series are archived on francishellyer.com.
