“What followed was less like watching a performance and more like living inside one.”

We couldn’t ask for a better description of Uncanny Alley: A New Day.

A huge thank you to Jessica Kenley and The Hollywood Times for this wonderful review of our Emmy-nominated live VR theatre production, created by Ferryman Collective in collaboration with Virtual Worlds Company.

Jessica stepped inside Uncanny Alley and experienced firsthand what makes this work so different: live actors speaking directly with audience members, improvising around their responses, and making every participant part of the story. As she writes, “Every conversation matters. Every audience member becomes another character. Every performance is unique.”

Now it’s your turn to step inside.

In Los Angeles? Come see us at Televerse, August 14–16 at LA LIVE, where we’ll be putting attendees into headsets for live demos of Uncanny Alley: A New Day.
Not in LA? Our upcoming remote performances let you experience the full show from home, either inside VR or via livestream. Tickets are available now on our Now Showing page.

Uncanny Alley: A New Day is nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Emerging Media Program.

Go to HollywoodTimes.net and read the wonderful review...

Then come experience it for yourself, tickets on our website at ferrymancollective.com

One of the best parts of @SIGGRAPH is catching up with people who have inspired us throughout our journey, and @thealexcoulombe is at the top of that list.

Alex has been a pioneer in XR theatre for years, and as we were getting Ferryman Collective off the ground, his generosity, encouragement, and willingness to share his knowledge meant so much to us. He continues to push the industry forward through Agile Lens, while always making time to support others along the way.

It was wonderful to see Alex interviewed by Edward Dawson-Taylor for CG Pro during SIGGRAPH, and even better to spend some time catching up with him and the incredible Agile Lens team. Living on opposite coasts means we don't get nearly enough opportunities to hang out, so every reunion is a treat.

Thank you, Alex, for everything you do for this community and for always being such an inspiring, generous human being. You're the best, and we're already looking forward to the next time our paths cross.

What an incredible @acmsiggraph !

We had an amazing time presenting 10-minute demos of our Emmy-nominated VR theatre experience, Uncanny Alley: A New Day, created by Ferryman Collective + Virtual Worlds Company. It was so much fun watching people step into the world, interact with our characters, and experience the show, even if it was just a taste of the full production.

One of the highlights was meeting so many wonderful attendees and reconnecting with friends from across the XR community. There were simply too many memorable conversations to count.

We also had the privilege of presenting on the Spatial Storytelling Stage, where we shared a live demo followed by a behind-the-scenes look at how we create live VR theatre. Stephen Butchko also joined an inspiring panel alongside fellow XR theatre creators to discuss the future of immersive performance.

SIGGRAPH always reminds us how fortunate we are to be part of this incredible XR community. Between the presentations, conversations, celebrations, and unforgettable moments, we came home inspired and excited for what's next.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, supported us, and shared this journey with us. We can't wait to see you again soon!

A quick update from Ferryman Collective!

Our Emmy-nominated VR theatre production, Uncanny Alley: A New Day, created in collaboration with Virtual Worlds Company, will be giving demo performances at @siggraph If you're attending, stop by the Los Angeles Convention Center and experience the show!

We're also thrilled to celebrate our co-founder Christopher Lane Davis (@screamingcolortaiwan ), who received the Spirit of Raindance Award, a special honor recognizing his outstanding contributions.

And the celebrations continue! Christopher's latest VRChat world, A WONDERFUL THING TO REALIZE, has been selected for the Best of Worlds section of this year's Venice Biennale. If you have the opportunity to experience it, don't miss it. It's truly magical.

Bravo, Screaming Color, and congratulations to the entire team! We couldn't be prouder.

We are Speechless!

We are thrilled to share that Uncanny Alley: A New Day has been nominated for an Emmy Award in Outstanding Emerging Media Program.

Created by Ferryman Collective in collaboration with @whyrickwhy of Virtual Worlds Company, this live VR theatre experience places audiences inside a cinematic cyberpunk world where two actors perform 15 characters in real time, and participants speak directly with performers, each other, and the world around them.

This nomination means so much to us. We are a small, artist-led team that has spent years building live theatre inside virtual reality, and to see this work recognized by the Television Academy is an incredible honor.

Thank you to every artist, performer, collaborator, festival, audience member, and supporter who helped bring Uncanny Alley: A New Day to life.

Live theatre in VR belongs in the future of emerging media, and we are so grateful to be part of that conversation.
