The CONNECTEFFECT Experience examines media, division, identity, human connection, and the difference between the “Real World” & the “Screen World” in a deeply personal & deeply disarming way. CONNECTEFFECT takes an audience of total strangers across all backgrounds, beliefs, and generations, and quickly equalizes & humanizes them into one deeply-connected group. Once connected the audience enjoys a revitalized sense of connection & community all within an enjoyable & entertaining experience!
