Projection Art
Sometimes a screen, no matter how big, is too small. In those instances, we turn to technology that casts words and images across cityscapes and landscapes. The sheer size and public nature of projection art draws attention that no screen can match, and that attention creates conversations. Each projection project is unique and works with the specifics of the projection surface and location. We design the campaigns from concept through technical execution.
Interviews & Directing
Our Emmy-award winning team combines a journalistic ethos with the know-how to draw out genuine responses.
Photography
Still images tell complex stories and convey impact - instantly. This ability is unique to photography, and it’s this power that drew us to visual storytelling in the beginning. Two of our founders are long-time photojournalists, which gives us the ability to offer top-notch in-house photography services.
