A few things we’re great at
We blend art, story, and technology to create meaningful content that resonates across cultures and platforms. Here’s what sets us apart:
Impactful Content
We streamline content creation, from animation workflows to VR development. We use intelligent tools, but always with a human touch.
Innovative Storytelling
Whether it’s VR, AR, or stylized animation, we build worlds that feel alive. Our stories are bold, emotionally rich, and designed to immerse.
From concept to code, story is at the heart of everything we do.
Winning Collaborations
With talent from across continents, we work seamlessly across time zones using intuitive tools and a strong creative workflow.
Ride to the Station
A surreal, hand-animated music video created in Quill VR for Australian punk legends The Hard-Ons.
Set in a post-apocalyptic world teetering on chaos and absurdity, the video follows a band on a wild ride through love, loss, and zombie mayhem, all set to a driving punk soundtrack.
An interactive VR experience that brings the band, the train, and the heart of the story to life, where players unlock characters and memories through sound and touch.

UNvisible
An real-time animated VR short exploring the emotional reality of displacement.
We follow Van, a graffiti artist on a subway train, who discovers and then loses a fleeting human connection. As memory blurs with imagination, Van begins to fade into invisibility.
Created using poetry, illustration, and Spatial Audio, UNvisible invites the viewer into a hauntingly beautiful world shaped by longing, erasure, and resilience.
