We thought we were prepared. Then we heard, “And the Emmy goes to… Uncanny Alley,” and our brains turned to cotton candy. This win belongs to our artists, collaborators, supporters, donors, and the XR community. Thank you for believing in independent art, human connection, and us.

Big weekend! Tomorrow, Uncanny Alley: A New Day heads to the Creative Arts Emmys. We’re also launching The Crossing: Ferryman Apprentice Program. First recipient Tanvi Agrawal will create a new VR theatre production with our mentorship, coming in October. ALLEY4LIFE!

Final push! Emmy voting for Outstanding Emerging Media Program closes Aug. 26. @forbes.com David Bloom experienced Uncanny Alley: A New Day and called it a “quirky, boundary-pushing hybrid virtual/live experience.” Thank you, David and Forbes, for seeing the work. ALLEY4LIFE!

So wouldn’t it be cool if we could do what the trades ignored? Variety released its Emmy predictions, but never covered Uncanny Alley: A New Day or experienced it live. For an indie team in emerging media, visibility matters. #Emmy #Emmys #UncannyAlley #EmergingMedia #Variety
