WHAT IS ZORIG

Our mentor, Bill Warner, the founder of Avid Technology who changed the film industry, inspired us to follow our hearts.

Our hearts told us to create a sci-fi movie and a futurist brand - named ZORIG. ZORIG is Khat's last name (i.e. her dad's 1st name). It also means "COURAGE" which has a latin root of "speak and act from the heart".

As we are creating the sci-fi movie, we will slowly release snippets of it along with a showcased physical product that will be made upon order.

The mission of the brand is to help inspire ZORIG in all to create the future we all want to live in.

WHY SCI-FI MOVIE

Movies are one of the most effective ways to change mindsets and shape the future.

Science fiction enables us to dream and visualize a future that we want to live in.

However, we are shocked by how terrible the current movie industry is.

The real stories do not get funded and told

Misrepresentation and stereotyping

Lack of diversity

Sexism

Promoting unrealistic beauty standards

Glorification of violence

Overemphasis of box office success leading to lack of originality and creativity

After learning how much negative impact this has on shaping our minds, we were called to play our part in changing that in our way

WHY MADE-TO-ORDER BRAND

After months of research, trial, and error, we learned shocking news - how broken the fashion industry is and how much negative impact it has on the environment.

10% of global carbon emissions.

2nd largest consumer of water.

20% of world's industrial water pollution.

Significant air pollution.

Over production and over-consumption leading to 11 million tons of textile ending in landfill yearly.

Exponential growth of synthetic fibers (over 90% of clothes made by fast fashion companies like H&M/Shein) that take centuries to biodegrade while emitting significant CO2.

The list goes on.

We want to change this. By doing it differently and hopefully inspiring change along the way.

The brand also allows us to share our progress with the movie before it's ready.
