    LocationOakland, California Third Space Media is an independent new media company based in Oakland, CA. We are creating a channel on our own platform for web-series, VR storytelling experiences, short films and podcasts. We were tired of lamenting about the lack of diversity and representation in media and decided to not be consumers of media that complain but rather producers. Our film crew is 100% Black and Brown folks. Our pilot web-series, "The Third Space Show," is an interview format web-series that tells the stories of innovators and change makers from all around the Bay Area. The Third Space channel and platform will go live late 2017.
