Paul Allen Foundation: Science, Exploration, and Technology

In collaboration with the Paul G. Allen Foundation and Christie’s, this video series was produced to spotlight innovators at the intersection of science, technology, and environmental stewardship. As part of the Gen One initiative, the campaign amplified the voices of scientists and changemakers tackling urgent global challenges—from ocean conservation to artificial intelligence.

Filmed in Seattle and New York, the series featured interviews with leading researchers and entrepreneurs, weaving together personal narrative and scientific insight. The films were part of a broader philanthropic initiative that raised nearly $18 million to support science and innovation worldwide.

The Paul G. Allen Foundation, was founded by Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist, Paul Allen. The foundation supports a global network of nonprofit partners working to preserve biodiversity, protect oceans, and build a sustainable future. This project served as a centerpiece for Christie’s international campaign, connecting collectors and donors to high-impact solutions shaping the future of our planet.
