Watch a
subsea mining ROV
get built — live.

No network. No editors. No waiting for season 7.
Just cameras, code, and one builder going all the way to the seafloor.

Why this exists

Bering Sea Gold is produced by a TV network.
DepthFrame is produced by the person actually building it.

Discovery Channel's show about gold mining runs on commercials and network notes. The cast gets 10% of airtime and zero ownership of the story. DepthFrame flips that. The subscriber is there from day one — every design decision, every revision, every dive operation. You don't watch a TV show about someone else's risk. You ride shotgun on a real build.

TV

Network owns the footage. Cast earns per episode. Audience is passive.

DF

Builder owns the footage. Subscribers get equity in the story. Audience is crew.

What you're subscribing to

Year 1: The Build

ROV design, fabrication, and testing. Every engineering decision documented. Prototype iterations. What worked, what failed, and why.

Year 2: The Dive

Live mining operations. Real seafloor footage. The ROV in action at depth — every dive streamed or archived for subscribers.

The Documentary

All the footage, edited. A full-length documentary of the build when the ROV hits the seafloor for the first time. Yours first.

Most people wait for the documentary.
You're here at the beginning.

The ROV isn't built yet. The platform isn't launched yet. This is the moment to get in — before the story is already told.

Build starts now.
