We embrace and advise on new technology and its power to create strong emotional connections to the issues and peoples our stories are about. Our slate includes both fiction and documentary projects, feature-length and interactive short form. We have helped world-class brands, non-profit organizations and other creators bring their own stories or experiences to life. Our interactive, animated VR experience, THE KEY won the Tribeca Film Festival Storyscapes award and the Venice Film Festival Grand Jury Prize for Best VR.

Celine Tricart wrote and directed “The Key”, an interactive experience mixing immersive theater and VR which won the Storyscapes Award at the Tribeca Film Festival. “The Key” was described by the press as “one of Tribeca's breakout successes.” Shortly after, it won the prestigious Grand Jury Prize for Best VR Immersive Work at the 2019 Venice Film Festival.

“Look Again” is an interactive music and dance-driven project that hopes to inspire an important conversation about diversity. Directed by Celine Tricart and shot as a 360 video, the setting and talent on first glance are made up of caucasian people, clothes, and props. Over the course of the song, viewers are asked to blink, an action that swaps people of color into the scene, along with colorful clothes, props, and set features. By the end of the experience, the dance style has moved from robotic to fluid and the visuals display a diversity of colors.

"The Sun Ladies" is a VR film that premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival and was selected at SXSW and the World VR Forum. Produced by Maria Bello and Celine Tricart.In 2014, ISIS fighters invaded Iraq and targeted the Yazidi community of Sinjar. The men were killed, and the women and girls taken as sex slaves. Some of the women who escaped started a female-only fighting unit called the Sun Ladies to bring back their sisters and protect the honor and dignity of their people. The Sun Ladies VR experience is an in-depth look at the personal journey of the captain of the Sun Ladies, Xate Singali. From her roots as a famous singer in Kurdistan to her new life as a soldier on the front lines, risking everything to stop the violence against her people.
