How do you create intimacy and openness in the digital world?

I interviewed Topaz Adizes, the creator of The And web series and card game, to hear his methods of preparing exes or strangers to open up candidly in front of a camera. The Emmy award-winning director has captured difficult conversations from thousands of people all around the world and we get to talk about how intimacy is shifting in the digital age, how to achieve more intimacy with the questions we ask, what makes people open up, and more.
