Experiential Showreel 2026!
Where storytelling meets spectacle, designing digital experiences that stir emotion and awe!
For the past 15 years, we’ve been exploring the space where architecture and media converge, two of our greatest passions, crafting digitally enhanced experiences at the highest level of quality, scale, and ambition.
Along the way, we’ve helped raise millions for young cancer patients with Kia, contributed to securing funding for the Las Vegas Sphere before going on to create groundbreaking content for it, directed multimedia fashion shows and large-scale theatre productions, and delivered dozens of cultural, museum, and arts experiences around the world.
Needless to say, we love experience design. We’re driven by the challenge of bringing the physical and digital worlds closer together, creating stories that can be felt as much as they can be seen.
This previously unreleased experiential showreel is both a reflection of that journey and a statement of intent for the future of storytelling and design at Factory Fifteen.

12 years ago @pauldnicholls @jgales & @kibwetavares quit the architectural world to pursue careers in film and tv, creating worlds and stories for film, advertising and mixed media. A few weeks back we won a Bafta for directing the Tokyo Olympics titles for @bbccrerative. What a journey, we thank everyone who has supported us, worked for us, or followed us over the years. Keep a lookout for big things on the horizon soon.

FIRST SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT - SODA FESTIVAL 2027
From architecture to the world’s biggest screens, we’re kicking things off with a studio that knows no limits.
We’re thrilled to welcome @factoryfifteen to SODA Festival 2027!
Factory Fifteen is a multi-award-winning creative studio operating at the intersection of architecture, film, animation and immersive experiences. Known for pushing visual storytelling into unexpected territories, they create worlds that blur the line between the real and the unreal, from cinematic experiences to ambitious digital environments.
And joining us on stage to bring a little of that creative madness to Sorrento is Matthew Austin, Emmy Award-winning artist and designer, and the mind behind some of the studio’s most technically demanding projects.
Originally trained as an architect, Matthew has spent over a decade turning big ideas into even bigger visual experiences. His credits include the Emmy-winning UFC 306: For Mexico For All Time, the Backstreet Boys’ residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas, and Max Cooper’s The Shape of Memory for the Royal Albert Hall.
His philosophy? The larger and weirder the screen, the better.
He even counted all the LED pucks on the outside of the Sphere. Yes, all of them.
Get ready for a conversation about architecture, immersive worlds and pushing creative boundaries way beyond the screen.
Sorrento, Italy

From concept to reality: Visualizing humanity's future among the stars. ✨
.
We teamed up with @skidmoreowingsmerrill and the @europeanspaceagency to create Life Beyond Earth, a film exploring what it truly takes to thrive on the Moon. Narrated by former NASA astronaut Jeffrey A. Hoffman, the piece premiered at the 17th International Architecture Exhibition of @labiennale.
.
Our approach focused on the human experience of space, designing everything from the habitats to the mission-critical UI with a level of detail that holds up to scientific scrutiny. This project challenged us to push the boundaries of CGI and speculative design, turning abstract architectural concepts into a world we can genuinely imagine inhabiting. Directed by @kevmccrae.

Bringing a geological wonder to life. 📽️🌊
.
We reimagined the visitor experience at @cheddargorgeandcaves, creating Yeo’s Journey: The Power of Water. By combining detailed 3D scanning with bespoke animation and lighting, we transformed the cavern walls into a living story of how the River Yeo shaped this landscape.
.
The project successfully bridged the gap between history and contemporary immersive art, resulting in a 3.3% boost in footfall and overwhelming positive feedback from guests. A huge thanks to the team at DJW for their collaboration in bringing this vision to life. Directed by @kevmccrae.
