Quartz to produce video series on global economy for Facebook Watch

Business news site Quartz is producing a video show for the new Facebook Watch on the global economy.

The shows will follow compelling characters and groundbreaking science shaping the future of the global economy. The Quartz videos will follow people living and working with robots, and scientists exploring some of the most unknown parts of the planet.

Quartz aims to continue to push the boundaries of visual storytelling, with a series of unique explainers that blend animation and shot footage.

Solana Pyne, Quartz Video’s executive producer, is overseeing the project.
