We used a unique tagging system to build a film that would be relevant to you based on how you answer the questions. Rather than a binary system, or a static chatbot model, we did a lot of research on questionnaires and personality tests and did some really cool decision tree modeling. The models helped us find ways to connect the way people answer to the type of relationship issues they might be experiencing.

Topaz Adizes, Director, interview with Bustle

In the interactive documentary {The And}, director Topaz Adizes has 30 couples – gay and straight, inexperienced teenagers and senior citizens who have been through all the highs and lows – ask one another 412 candid questions. All aspects of a relationship are investigated: the distribution of power, the biggest annoyances, greatest expectations and most beautiful memories. And of course sex. Every viewer gets a different combination of questions and depending on the answers each is presented a one-and-a-half minute compilation. Afterwards, the viewer can navigate the documentary by clicking on themes or couples. There is also an option to initiate a discussion with your own partner prompted by specially designed questions.
