IT ALL STARTED WITH A DREAM...

Untravel started with research CEO Michael Epstein conducted as a graduate student at MIT looking at storytelling techniques, audiences, and technologies. His thesis focused on industry and experimental projects bringing mobile technologists and storytellers together. He was awarded a grant from the European Union, Motorola and Dell to create a walking tour in Venice Italy from 2004-5. From there the concept of terratives developed into a Business and in 2006 he incorporated Untravel Media, Inc. a unique production and software company focusing on mobile storytelling. Working with a range of clients and grants, the company has grown to a diverse, Boston-based studio of developers, designers, writers, and producers.
