The Founder's Table
A Television Anthology Series Created by Mona Lisa
What if the greatest minds in history could guide our future?
The Founder’s Table is a near-future anthology series where resurrected legends of innovation — from artists to scientists to revolutionaries — are brought together to solve humanity’s most urgent crises. Each episode explores what the world could become if the people who shaped history were given one more seat at the table.
Short Description
The Founder’s Table is a visionary anthology series that imagines a world where monumental thinkers of the past are brought into the present to confront the challenges of our time. Using advanced technology and deep-learning reconstruction, global leaders revive select historical figures and invite them into a confidential think tank. Their mission: to challenge modern systems, rethink the future, and confront the mistakes of both past and present generations.
World and Themes
Set in a sleek, near-future world on the brink of collapse, The Founder’s Table blends cutting-edge technology with timeless wisdom. The series shifts between intimate think-tank conversations, global crisis zones, and dramatized flashbacks that reveal the emotional histories of each resurrected icon. It is a world both futuristic and painfully familiar, where humanity stands at the crossroads of salvation or self-destruction.
