Ian and Larissa – DG: “It’s been one year since we released this video, very simply titled: “The Story of Ian and Larissa.” The response was (and continues to be) stunning — over 1.5 million plays online from viewers around the world.

And to mark the one-year anniversary of the video release, we wanted to reconnect with them for a quick update through this written interview.”
