About

Making our world a better story.

Nowadays Orange is a Dallas creative studio. We make award-winning films and series, produce branded media, advise on strategy and data, and build digital products — all in service of stories worth telling.

One studio, many crafts

Jacob Wurzer and Alex Garcia Topete founded Nowadays Orange in 2011 with a simple conviction: the right story, told well, can make the world better. What began as a media production company grew as partners Elizabeth Ann Stewart and Ross Stewart joined and the work expanded — into award-winning documentaries and series, a data and strategy consulting practice, and a Labs division building digital products. Different crafts, one mission: to make our world a better story.

What we do

Media Production — Brand films, campaigns, documentaries, and bilingual series.
Strategy & Data Consulting — Helping organizations turn data and know-how into value.
Labs — Digital products and tech-enabled ventures.
Watch & Read — Our own films, series, music, and publishing.
