About
What we achieve: Giant MEDIA experiences that energize + deepen public engagement in museums, science centres, aquariums, planetariums, galleries, cultural centres, parks, historic sites, libraries & expositions.
As a media producer, my enterprise designs and delivers high-calibre story-driven film experiences for museums, science centres and other organizations working to engage public audiences and advance informal learning.
The goal of my practice is to optimize the visitor experience and contribute to museum success. We do this by using screen-based media to bring content, themes and environments alive in surprising ways and by inspiring audiences to pursue their own discoveries.
To achieve remarkable outcomes, we draw on decades of innovation and achievement in filmmaking, exhibition and distribution by our team and associates, as well as upon collaborations with specialists project-by-project.
The Aim
Transform the visitor experience.
Tell great stories. Explore new worlds. Breach barriers. Build bridges. Reveal the invisible. Invite play. Surprise. Delight. Unlock a universe of possibilities.
Our future depends on becoming better learners, together.
Capabilities
Fresh solutions. Our capabilities cover the communication chain, from concept to highest-calibre digital production, from marketing to global distribution, to achieving ultimate audience impact.
Design
A giant experience is one that engages you. To draw audiences and spark engagement, we capture the remarkable. We work to expand human vision and transcend scales of experience. We also work with our collaborators to infuse play and invite learning engagement in diverse settings (theatres, museums, science centres, aquaria, homes, mobile, social media and the web).
Production
With a team shaped around the unique needs of a project, we use cinema to tell the big story—employing the tools of digital production and techniques of documentary filmmaking and storytelling, to infuse the museum landscape with engaging and authentic narrative and rich layers for public exploration, play and learning.
Distribution
Reaching out globally, we are involved in optimizing viewership for high-calibre creations through direct licensing to giant screen equipped museums and science centers throughout the world as well as through adaptation and distribution through other mainstream channels worldwide (broadcast and streaming).
What we deliver
Every project is unique and shaped around a particular context and set of communication needs. Our delivery capabilities include:
- Authentic, expertly crafted feature screen attractions
- Destination-specific media experiences
