Pre-Order: Beyond the Screen by Elijah McKinnon and Dr. Aymar Jean Escoffery

In Beyond the Screen, we invite readers to journey through the transformative decade of Open Television (OTV), where the intersection of art, storytelling, and community has shaped the very fabric of the media landscape. This 100+ page, photo-forward book reflects on the bold, foundational pillars that have helped cultivate an organization grounded in sustainable, intersectional storytelling.

OTV’s mission is rooted in the belief that before we can build an ecosystem, we must first tend the land, create the shelter, and nourish the space where growth can happen. It is in the cultivation of brave platforms that artists find the freedom to express, experiment, and evolve. Through this book, we shine a light on how OTV’s past decade has been dedicated to nurturing these early seeds—tiny gardens of creativity, solidarity, and connection—that are now blooming into thriving ecosystems of bold, uncompromising art.
