Early this year Cynthia DuVal, a cultural psychologist, ethnographer and entrepreneur approached friends at B.R.I.O. and CNON.tv about co-producing an online broadcast of a selection of films from the Intimate Lens Ethnographic Film Festival Caserta 2012. In July, the group agreed to volunteer time and services to "prove the concept" that they could gather global audiences to watch ethnographic films online.

B.R.I.O. (Brilliant Observation of Reality) is a cultural association dedicated to promoting Italian culture and documentary films focused on cultural themes and methodologies. B.R.I.O. and Bagaria produced the first Intimalente Festival Di Film Etnografici in 2011.
