The moment I read Matt Stopera’s post about the mysterious man who began showing up in his iPhone photos, I knew I wanted to follow him to China to see how this story might unfold. The origin of Matt and Brother Orange’s friendship was so improbable that I might not believe it if I hadn’t seen it with my own two eyes (and one camera). This film will take viewers on the same unlikely journey that I got to see first hand, one that changed me for the better and has become a big part of my life over the past decade. To borrow a popular Buzzfeed phrase, seeing Matt and Brother Orange's unique bond grow deeper over time helped "restore my faith in humanity."
