Beyond the Screen
with OTV

Beyond the Screen: Pushing Media, Imagination, and Legacy Forward is a 10-episode limited audio series celebrating a decade of intersectional media with Open Television (OTV) co-produced by Ask Tribble, Inc. and ReSpair Media

Hosted by Elijah McKinnon and Dr. AJ Escoffery, the series reflects on the creative risks, community lessons, and radical care that shaped OTV’s journey over the past 10 years.

Each episode unpacks one of OTV’s “10 Lessons Learned,” weaving together intimate interviews, archival audio, and unscripted commentary from the people who helped build the platform from the ground up. 

From artists and collaborators to cultural organizers and curators, Beyond the Screen offers a behind-the-scenes look at how OTV redefined indie media—and what’s next for intersectional storytelling.

“Over the past ten years, we’ve learned ten powerful lessons — not just about storytelling, but about the ecosystems that make storytelling possible. Beyond the Screen is a celebration of that learning: of building slow and deep, choosing people over profit, and insisting that joy, care, and complexity belong at the center of media.” — Elijah mckinnon, co-founder, OTv
