Tristan Tales and Luke Pounder met during their very first week at USC film school and have been creating stories together ever since.

 

Originally from San Diego (Tristan) and New Jersey (Luke), they now live in Los Angeles, where they co-founded TalesVision, a digital-first storytelling studio creating fantastical stories that celebrate the misfits, outsiders, and oddities of our world.

 

Together, Tristan and Luke have built an audience of five million followers, with their short-form stories amassing more than 500 million views worldwide. Their work spans digital storytelling, television, film, and publishing, united by a love of fantasy, mystery, adventure, and imaginative world-building.

 

At TalesVision, they are pioneering a new approach to developing stories: introducing original characters and worlds to audiences through platforms like TikTok and YouTube, seeing what viewers connect with, and expanding those ideas into long-form series, films, and books.

 

They are especially passionate about meeting the next generation of audiences where they already are while inviting them into deeper, more immersive worlds. Their mission is to create stories that spark curiosity, inspire creativity, and remind audiences that the best adventures are often found just beyond the ordinary.
