Theorem Media is a nonprofit strategy studio for independent storytellers

We build release campaigns across theatrical, boutique, community, and special event platforms, and we creatively repackage films for second and third lives by developing new formats, audiences, and revenue opportunities.

We partner with creators working on urgent, meaningful stories and help their work travel farther and resonate longer. Where others see a single project, we build long-term IP value and ongoing opportunities.

Think Bigger. Integrate Everything.

Theorem Media exists to bring powerful human stories about the most important topics of our time to audiences with the capacity to change our future.

2Die4

2DIE4 shatters the boundaries of nonfiction storytelling. More than a documentary, 2DIE4 is a daring cinematic experiment that fuses feature-film storytelling with unscripted reality. Shot in real time under the most punishing, high-speed conditions of the world toughest race, 24 Hours of Le Mans, every frame captures life-altering stakes as they happen—no retakes, no safety net, unfiltered reality.

Conceived for IMAX from day one, the film’s monumental scale reflects the ambition of its directors, brothers Salomão Abdala (28) and André Abdala (26), placing them as the youngest filmmakers ever — and the first Brazilian directors — to secure an IMAX release. At its core, 2DIE4 is a racing film told from an unprecedented vantage point: the driver’s own mind. Through exclusive and intimate access to the driver, Felipe Nasr, we experience his ambitions, fears, triumphs, and missteps with unflinching honesty, revealing the delicate humanity that fuels the relentless pursuit and art of speed.

Deepfaking Sam Altman

Deepfaking Sam Altman follows director Adam Bhala Lough, who sets out to profile one of the most powerful figures in AI, only to create a digital replica of him when access proves impossible. Told with mordant humor in the tradition of Roger & Me, the film is as entertaining as it is provocative—a journey through technology, intimacy, and accountability. By making AI a literal co-director, Adam reveals how easily we mistake simulations for truth and grow attached to our own projections, while also spotlighting the opaque elites who shape our digital future from a distance.

Wisdom of Happiness

WISDOM OF HAPPINESS shows us a timeless truth: happiness is still possible, even in the midst of chaos and uncertainty. This powerful message of hope is delivered as a personal audience with one of the greatest living thinkers, Nobel Peace Prize winner Tenzin Gyatso, known to billions around the world as the Dalai Lama. Speaking as a member of our single global community, he shares practical wisdom for finding peace, compassion, and hope in the midst of chaos. With disarming clarity and deep humanity, he invites us to imagine — and help create — a world where compassion is activated as our strongest force for change, and happiness is within reach for everyone.

I Have A Name

A book of photographs, an art exhibit and now a documentary film, I Have A Name is an urgent and poignant work of filmmaking and a proven catalyst for profound conversation. This powerhouse short film challenges us to truly examine who we are and recognize that solving the unhoused crisis is a practical objective for humankind in the 21st Century.

Invisible Nation

Invisible Nation is an intimate view of the presidency of Tsai Ing-wen, Taiwan’s first female president, as she fights for the future of her country’s democracy at a time when freedom around the world is under threat from authoritarianism.

Following Harry

Following Harry joins Harry Belafonte during the last twelve years of his life as the legendary artist and civil rights leader embarks on a deeply personal and reflective journey, while inspiring the next generation of entertainers and activists to disrupt injustice across the globe. Belafonte creates a blueprint for the future by demonstrating how love has the power to redirect oppression into oblivion.

America’s Burning

Despite its ominous title, America’s Burning illuminates the fact that America has an impressive history of resilience in the face of adversity so our best days could still lie ahead.
