Stories You Can Live: The New Art of Storytelling

José Proaño

Hello, I'm José Proaño, president of the Futuro Equinoccial Foundation, and today I want to invite you to see the art of storytelling from a new perspective... or better yet, from inside the story.

Have you ever felt so drawn into a movie or documentary that you forgot where you were? Now imagine not just watching it, but actually being there — inside the scene, surrounded by the characters, walking through their landscapes, feeling every emotion firsthand.
That is precisely what immersive storytelling is all about.

🎥 What is immersive storytelling?

It's a new way of telling stories using technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and 360° video, where the viewer stops being just a spectator and becomes part of the story.
It’s no longer about watching a screen — it’s about entering a parallel universe where everything is experienced from within.

At the Futuro Equinoccial Foundation, we believe the future is told this way: with stories that are felt, explored, and discovered step by step.

💓 Why does it stir so many emotions?

Because immersion changes everything.
We’ve seen how a 360° short film about life in rural communities has moved viewers to tears — even those who have never set foot in the countryside.
Or how a VR experience of planet Earth seen from space awakens ecological awareness in just a few minutes.

It’s not magic. It’s empathy powered by technology.

📚 What does this have to do with education and culture?

Everything.
Imagine learning history by walking through the streets of ancient Rome. Or understanding the biodiversity of the Amazon by virtually traveling its river.
Immersive storytelling doesn’t replace traditional education — it transforms it into a memorable adventure.

In our productions, we combine entertainment, knowledge, and emotion to create deep learning experiences that stay with you.

In social topics, it allows us to make the invisible visible — migration, inequality, climate change — all shown from a human, intimate, and experiential perspective.

✨ Will you join us?

This is just the beginning of an audiovisual revolution, where art, communication, and technology come together to create something greater: experiences that transform us.

From the Futuro Equinoccial Foundation, we invite you to be part of this change.
Do you have a story that deserves to be told? Would you like to experience one of our immersive productions?

Learning from Within: The Educational Power of Virtual and Augmented Reality

José Proaño

Imagine traveling to the past and walking through ancient civilizations, or diving into the heart of the Amazon rainforest to learn about biodiversity in a way you've never experienced before. Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are breaking the barriers of traditional learning and leading us into a new educational era—one where learning means living it.

🌍 Experiential Learning Beyond the Books

At the Futuro Equinoccial Foundation, we are using these technologies to create unique educational experiences. Through immersive short films and virtual cultural tours, students can experience history, science, art, and emotions in a deep and unforgettable way.

Can you imagine learning about the French Revolution, not by reading it in a textbook, but by living it in the heart of Paris—walking through the streets, meeting the characters, and witnessing the key events that changed history?

Or perhaps you’d like to explore outer space and feel like an astronaut, traveling across the planets while understanding the principles of physics and astronomy in a practical and emotional way.

🎨 Enhancing Learning Through Emotion, History, and Science

Sensory immersion allows students to connect with content on a deeply emotional level, helping them retain concepts more effectively than with traditional methods. Studies have shown that when we feel what we learn, those experiences stay with us longer.

This approach applies across subjects:

  • In history, students don’t just read documents—they feel the historical context.

  • In science, they can perform virtual experiments or explore space labs without leaving the classroom.

  • In art, they can create or interact with masterpieces, understanding not just the result but the creative journey behind it.

👩‍🏫 The Role of Students and Teachers in This New Educational Era

Students become the true protagonists of their learning journey, interacting with content and living experiences at their own pace. Meanwhile, teachers become guides within this universe of possibilities, helping students interpret and apply what they've learned in real life.

This approach completely transforms the way we teach and learn, offering schools and institutions new tools for more dynamic, inclusive, and interactive education.

🤝 Join the Educational Revolution

We invite all educational institutions to be part of this educational revolution. Collaborating with us will not only allow your students to explore new worlds of learning, but also help you become a pioneer in a future where education knows no limits.

Are you ready to help your students live what they learn?
Let’s create together experiences that are not just seen—but felt.

Immersive Cinema with Purpose: Raising Awareness Through Stories You Can Feel

José Proaño

In a world where images and sounds are always at our fingertips, the way we connect with stories is changing dramatically. Immersive cinema is one of the most powerful tools driving this shift. At the Futuro Equinoccial Foundation, we have embraced this form of storytelling, exploring how 360° cinema can be more than just entertainment — it can be a tool for transformation.

🌍 Immersive Productions with a Purpose

Over the years, we have created a series of immersive short films and experiences that address social, cultural, and emotional themes. Each production aims to generate real impact by creating a space where people don't just watch the story — they feel it from within.

From documentaries on life in rural communities to stories of resilience during social crises, our productions highlight real, authentic stories, offering an experience where the viewer becomes part of the narrative.

📝 Building Stories with Intention

The selection of themes and the development of our scripts is a process we approach with great care. We believe that every story has the power to connect with people on a deep level. That’s why we choose topics that resonate emotionally and can inspire reflection or action.

Whether it’s a story about personal growth, social justice, or environmental preservation, each script is crafted to immerse the viewer in a transformative experience.

Using advanced technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR) and 360° video, we bring these narratives to life, allowing the audience to interact with the environment and the characters in ways never seen before. It's not just about watching the story — it's about living it.

💬 Real Impact on the Audience

The testimonials from those who have experienced our productions are among the most rewarding parts of our work. Many people tell us they’ve felt a deep emotional connection with the characters or situations, developing a social and personal awareness that traditional formats rarely achieve.

In events and workshops, our immersive short films have sparked strong reactions — from tears to inspiration — motivating participants to make real changes in their communities.
This is the power of immersive cinema: it doesn’t just tell stories — it inspires action.

🤝 An Invitation to Creators, Actors, and Allies

This is just the beginning. We know immersive cinema has enormous potential to change the world, and we want to invite more creators, actors, and allies to join us on this mission.

If you’re a content creator, filmmaker, or audiovisual professional, we invite you to explore this new cinematic language — one that puts purpose at the center of every story.
If you’re an actor ready to bring characters to life in immersive settings or an ally looking to help spread these productions, your participation is essential and welcome.

✨ Join Us

Immersive cinema has the power to create real change — because it doesn’t just show what’s happening, it allows people to feel it.
Stories told in 360° have the ability to cross borders, touch hearts, and transform minds.

If you share our vision and feel passionate about creating purpose-driven content, we invite you to be part of this new era in cinema.

Immersive Cinema Studio at the Middle of the World

''A Dream Beginning to Take Shape''

José Proaño

In the heart of Calacalí, right where the Equatorial Line divides the planet into two hemispheres, a bold vision is taking shape: the creation of Ecuador’s first Immersive Cinema Studio. A 1000-square-meter space where technology, art, identity, and knowledge come together in a transformative experience.

Though today it is just a piece of land, this dream of the Futuro Equinoccial Foundation holds a special energy. The imaginary line that crosses this place symbolizes balance, origin, and the connection between worlds — just like this studio aims to do: connecting tradition with the future, culture with innovation, the local with the global.
