MEZO
An alternate future for Mesoamerica
"A visually and sonically exciting journey" - Forbes
Mezo was a world built with rigorous research and conceptualization, matched with sophisticated mixed media production.
My agency created a custom mixed reality experience and a 20 ft temple as the centerpiece of the VRLA expo at the LA Convention Center, with immersive lighting & video, custom produced cinematic score with spatial audio, aromatic system, and a cinematic documentary.
I oversaw the entire process, from concept to fundraising and execution, to show management.
