About

the concept, the host, the mission

The channel

The Zora Files is built on a simple idea: the best things discovered in life come through early to rise. The name comes from Zora, the Slavic word for dawn.

The flagship series is Finding Zora , a sunrise-chasing expedition game with its own scoring system, discovery log, and level-up progression. Every episode is a scored attempt at the perfect dawn.

“Every dawn is a scored event. Most people sleep through the leaderboard.”
The host
The host

The host is a veteran, devoted husband and grandpa, technical infrastructure consultant, musician, and desert hiker who is allergic to chaos but keeps getting surprised by nature. Based in the Queen Creek area of Arizona. Home base is the Sonoran Desert, but the pursuit goes wherever the next scored sunrise leads.

The mission

Every sunrise belongs to someone. This is the record of one person's pursuit of the perfect one, wherever it leads.

Home base is the Sonoran Desert of Arizona. But the pursuit does not belong to any single landscape. Wherever dawn breaks, the game is on.
