Daniel Hettwer, founder of Hidden Worlds Entertainment, builds experiences where impact comes first and immersion follows close behind. His latest: Our Ocean, Our Future, a UN-accredited project that brought conservation to life through multisensory storytelling, neuroscience-backed behavioral nudges and a few invasive lionfish on the dinner menu. Staged initially in Miami in 2022 and 2023, the event used 360-degree projection mapping to transport guests through underwater ecosystems before serving a fine dining experience that was equal parts unforgettable and educational. Daniel wrote the show, collaborated with behavioral scientists, and raised $350K in sponsorship, scoring a partnership with The Islands of the Bahamas. The results speak for themselves—1,000 lionfish caught and consumed, over 2,000 pounds of trash collected and a 4.7-star guest rating. The project also scored a spot on the Future100 Trend Report and widespread media attention. With more than a decade of experience, Daniel’s turning purpose into performance one sensory deep dive at a time.
