BusinessRealm is a show about a corporation called Luxury Universal Experience, last seen or heard from in the late 90s, and it has returned in the modern era helmed by an Artificial Intelligence called LUXos. In its efforts to revitalize the company it is code-bound to support, it has repurposed one of its old office buildings as an arena for a game show-like series of elimination challenges to which thousands of businesspeople have flocked for a chance to become a member of LUX’s vaunted board of directors. The office is packed with the company’s history and past foibles, replete with fantastic creatures, spaceships, and tubemen that the audience, in their roles as surprise last-minute contestants, will tackle in their fight to ascend to the highest heights of bussinessdom.
Future Proof is a transmedia entertainment company based out of Brooklyn, NY. Since 2017 we have made it our sole mission to create unique, fun, entertaining immersive experiences across all sorts of platforms.
Presented as an interactive series of narrative attractions played out across New York State as well as online, we’ve been telling one continuous story across live events, film, interactive media, web video, social media, and even video games since 2017 to create one of the world’s first fully transmedia experiences.
