Hello Out There Productions was created to bring artists together to create stories that connect us all at the most human level. Providing multi-medium storytelling, we look to bridge the gaps of understanding between people by proving just how similar we all are. Remember, you're not alone out there.
​
We were founded by India Marie Paul in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic as a response to the closure of theatres and performance spaces. Hello Out There Audio became the first platform created as it allowed artists to work while in isolation and collaborate to create dynamic audio performances. Hello Out There Publications was then created to share the textual work and have our stories reach as many as possible.
