Led by pioneer in the industry, Mikhael Tara Garver, we are building the future of Immersive Entertainment. Our work is led by our unique fandom and culture-building practice: Immersive Involvement. We use ALL of the immersive tools to INVOLVE audiences in IP, each other, and the world around them.
We work with IP holders; Brands; Venues; Developers; Music, Film, TV, Book, or Game Creators; and Unique Talents. Projects are designed to scale to a range of venues, from planetariums and civic spaces to under-utilized malls, sport arenas, immersive technology spaces, performing arts centers, roller rinks, and engage immersive technologies across the Extended Technology (XR) spectrum.
How you work with us?
We consult on your multi-platform experience, location-based entertainment, experiential event, or XR experience. When designed well, Immersive is made for a world of stories in a connected narrative. We help you create space for all of your potential audience.
We are the Immersive Artistic Director to develop your IP into a Premiere Experience with business potential built into its DNA. With a focused sprint process, we design integrated XR and live entertainment with fandom, community, and narrative at its center.
