Content Creation
We believe in doing the work differently, one that engages the whole individual as they interact with their varied communities, and challenge them to see the world differently. We are changemakers both in approach and outcomes.
​
Our approach to content capturing is inventing new storytelling techniques in virtual and augmented reality. Each new project develops a new way to zoom into the XR world while learning to tell stories better in a 3D space. The value is we are inventing new storytelling cinematic techniques. We tell stories in an interactive way of those that are the most underrepresented.
Black W(hole)
An interactive data visualization musical, experienced in XR. It seeks to challenge the media traditionally used to represent data on Black lives by weaving together a story of inner city statistics from the perspective of a deep question: “Are we our ancestors wildest dreams of what we could become?” The journey incorporates explorations of privilege, post-traumatic slave syndrome, the school to prison pipeline, intergenerational spiritual healing, amongst many other interrelated facets of identity for inner-city youth.
NSESA (BALANCE)
This mixed reality interactive experience takes the user through a series of narrative vignettes that go between an interactive documentary of the journey of the Street Cred’ Detroit youth group to historical reenactments of key moments in the formation of the Ashanti Kingdom.
Street Cred is an ongoing documentations project seeking outcomes to the question, "What would happen if every student was given the same opportunities; if every child had the freedom to dream their own dreams and imagine their own future?" It followed Detroit youth as they learn entertainment industry skills and how to apply their inner strengths and street smarts to a professional context.
The documentation of the project is an ongoing piece as we think critically and thoughtfully to issues that affect graduation rates.
Documenting Homeless in Venice
An interactive documentary about the impact of the COVID-19 shutdown on the homeless population in Venice Beach. It seeks to articulate the nuanced experiences and perspectives of those with no home in which to stay indoors. This work also analyzes allocation of funding for implemented (and ultimately ineffective) solutions and proposes alternative pathways to deliver the critical physical and mental health resources that this community needs. Furthermore, and still developing, questions come into play around the BLM movement, as it seeks equality and visibility for all, while literally sidestepping some of the most alienated members of society.
