Autopilot to Alive

Every person has a story worth understanding.

I'm Kurtis Mercer.

Autopilot to Alive is a documentary project exploring the human condition through honest conversations with people from every walk of life.

From soccer moms and overworked office employees to divorcees, recovering addicts, tradespeople, entrepreneurs, people experiencing homelessness, and everyone in between, every conversation reveals something deeper than the labels we wear.

My goal isn't to debate or convince. It's to understand.

Because when we understand each other's stories, we realize we're not alone. And sometimes, hope begins with a single conversation.
