The Architect of the Century
Four acts that shaped contemporary history
The foundations of an empire are built in humility and curiosity
Thomas Alexander Tull was born in a modest environment. From a young age, he developed a passion for cinema, science, and the philosophy of civilizations.
He spent his evenings taking apart radios, filming his neighbors with an old Super 8 camera, and reading philosophy books on ancient civilizations.
From dream to reality, the methodical construction of an empire
At 18, he left Canada for New York with a backpack, a few film reels, and an obsession: understanding the link between power, culture, and technology.
Founded Helix Digital - an algorithm capable of analyzing audience emotions in real time. The company was sold three years later for $30 million.
Acquisition of a struggling company in Los Angeles transformed into a film empire. Vision: combining predictive algorithms with emotional storytelling.
During a gala in Dakar, he met Senegalese sculptor Awa Diop who asked him: "You create worlds. But do you create beauty?"
Global expansion and the realization of a humanist vision
Creation of a secret group of five key figures (scientists, investors, and artists) controlling the key companies of the conglomerate.
Official launch of the foundation dedicated to preserving, restoring, and promoting ancient and contemporary African art.
Establishment of 25 strategic companies covering film, AI, energy, biotechnology, finance, art, and space defense.

The transmission of a legacy and the construction of a legend
Public reappearance during a speech at the University of Kigali where he announced the transfer of 40% of his empire to the Ubuntu Foundation.
"Power is useless if you build nothing beautiful. I wanted to build bridges between art and science. It's now up to you to let humanity cross them."
The principles that guide every decision
Using innovation as a lever for collective progress rather than as an instrument of control.
Beauty as an engine of social transformation and cultural evolution.
Redistribution and strategic investment in humanity's common future.
"I don't want to control the world, I want it to rise."
