About me

First of all, thank you for making it this far, it truly means a lot.

I’m Elian, an independent filmmaker who has been working on a documentary series for the past ten years, driven by love and passion. That same passion led me to prioritize artistic freedom and immersive storytelling over commercial considerations. Therefore, I chose to produce the entire series independently and to use inspiring music rather than copyright-free alternatives.

Why "Buy Me a Coffee" ?

Through my choices, I consciously gave up the two main ways this project could generate income: selling it to a TV network or monetizing my YouTube channel. As a result, the only way to support this project is through direct contributions from viewers, in the form of donations.

This project has never been motivated by money, but your support would be a meaningful way to recognize the thousands of hours of care and effort behind it.

About What's up on Earth

Blending carefree adventure with a deep quest for meaning, What’s Up on Earth invites us to open our hearts and question what it means to be human. Through five years of travel filled with inspiring encounters and stunning scenery, this immersive documentary series leads us to reinvent our connection to ourselves, to others, and to life itself.

A few figures

A culmination of 5 years of filming and 4 years of post-production, this project required over 3,000 hours of editing to weave hundreds of hours of footage and interviews with 83 inspiring people into a cohesive documentary series. After a decade of effort, this long journey unfolds as a sweeping odyssey spanning 6 seasons, 43 chapters, and more than 17 hours of storytelling.
