Empire at Sea
This thrilling interactive augmented reality drama is a father-daughter story exploring themes of survival and sustainability.
Experience the mind-bending North American premiere of Empire at Sea, a solarpunk interactive augmented reality (AR) drama that follows a group of climate scientists as they attempt to create a sustainable city at sea on a remote oil rig following a sudden environmental disaster. We join the story five years after the catastrophic event when Lani, the young protagonist, sees a boat on the horizon. Should the group allow the strangers aboard or repel them by force? Directed by groundbreaking AR artist Peter Flaherty (Sundance, Marvel Studios), Empire at Sea is a thrilling father-daughter story that explores themes of survival, sustainability, and multicultural communities. The cast features Orlando Jones (American Gods), Ayelet Zurer (Spielberg’s Munich), and Geoff Arend (Goliath).
