We are an immersive storytelling studio that creates emotionally powerful mind-bending alternate worlds in physical or virtual space. We juxtapose elements of art, film, theater, and architecture to produce groundbreaking work that upends your sensory experience in service of story. Our goal is not just to entertain or excite but to engage in ways that create memories of lasting meaning.
Led by acclaimed artist Kenzo Digital, we are a roster of cross-disciplinary designers, producers, architects, artists, developers, animators, writers, and technologists who make work with a singular vision that stands the test of time.
