### Logline
Thousands claim life-changing encounters with the elusive entity Twizm, but a leak causes a vacuum of trust: Is Twizm real? Are the docs real? As panic spreads, some scramble to uncover the truth while others craft self-serving lies.
### Concept
This is a podcast about Twizm, an entity composed of bands and cogs that emanate neon light, whirring and clicking as it constantly re-flows into new shapes. Those who encounter it report profound changes to their outlook, a renewed curiosity and hope as though part of their child self is reawakened.
Thing is, according to every scientific instrument, Twizm doesn’t exist. Mass hysteria. That *was* the official classification of Twizm. More than that though, officials backed down from that diagnosis because no one likes when their most meaningful experience is classified as a hallucination.
Now, someone’s leaked documents, exposing interviews with contactees and those who profess inside knowledge of Twizm. Depending on whom you ask, this is the story those documents tell about what Twizm may be, about the agenda of the organization that collected the docs, the motives of the anonymous leaker, or the self-serving supernatural fantasies people have indulged in for all time.
With elements of science fiction, thriller, and psychological drama, The Twizm Mosaic can appeal to a broad audience and is well suited to Adimverse's decentralized rooms. We will meet and get to know deeply many different characters, meaning you can create on your own if you like and that diverse perspectives are especially valuable. 
### Why This Concept?
What Twizm hypothesizes is that maybe the foundational part of being good is having a source of magic and meaning, that that's what gives us the strength to act compassionately. 
Nowadays, we eradicate feelings of wonder and awe because we fear they're the gateway drug to getting conned. We might make an aesthetic observation about the wonder of a sunset, but considering how little we know of what we are and the nature of the universe, it's strange how little time we spend sharing our wonder about that which is beyond our ability to explain rationally. Maybe we've even lost the language to do so.
How do we find a source of magic and meaning and can it be more than just a transient experience? How and why do people exploit these sources of meaning? These are just some of the questions I hope to explore through Twizm.

### Who I'm Looking For
Still looking at co-leads. If you can see yourself investing a lot of time into this, let me know. 
I'm looking for talented writers, people with podcasting experience, people with a passion for this concept. If you're a **poet** who can try to capture the wonder of Twizm with words or interested in voice acting, talk to me. I want this to be most of all a story about human connection and what gives life meaning as well as how and why we exploit and destroy meaning. If that sounds cool to you, let's talk!
