A jazz club where every song launches a new case. A note on your cocktail napkin. A portal in the cleaning closet. Last month, Culture House's creative team began developing a new narrative-driven experience, CLUB HOLMES, co-produced by @cameowood.com / Charming Stranger Films. The game is afoot! 🔍

And a big THANK YOU to the Stowe Story Labs team for putting together such a thoughtful and inspiring program for creatives, and to the mentors and fellow participants who made the experience what it was 🤍

The lab may be over but the work is just getting started! After one unforgettable weekend in Vermont, @cameowood.com has officially wrapped the 2026 June Stowe Narrative Lab 🎬 We are so proud and cannot wait to see what comes next for JANUS GATE! PC: Jesse Schloff

Signups are open for Strandfall, an orienteering larp inspired by Stalker and Death Stranding! Set five years after a mysterious disaster unleashes deadly storms, players join a risky expedition to deploy "spatial computers" and put humanity back on its feet. Edinburgh / September 5th / *Free*

Thrilled to continue to advance my feature Janus Gate while at Stowe Narrative Lab in Vermont. This is an incredibly exciting film that I cannot wait to make real.

The news is out! Cameo Wood has been selected as a participant for June Stowe Narrative Lab! 🎬✨ @cameowood.com will be working alongside a community of peers and top industry mentors to develop her sci-fi feature JANUS GATE through presentations, small group sessions, networking, and so much more!

This is crucial. There are some really interesting hybrid video game live events out there, but they need more support. I also think of MOMI's exhibition of Auriea Harvey's digital art and games, which was incredible and got a rave NYT review.

Immersive experiences give you the opportunity to take horror into "a living, breathing celebration," and HAG delivers exactly that. Charming Stranger (@cameowood.com) brought The Queen’s Fools Shakespeare's Weird Sisters to life at #Overlook2026 in the most delightfully unhinged way possible 🧹✨

Thrilled to join my Culture House crew on another ship to space. Bridge Command @bridgecommand.bsky.social continues to deliver joy.

I gave a half-silly, half-serious talk analysing the 2013 movie Austenland in terms of larp design, and you have no idea how many people came up to me afterwards saying they were going to buy the movie. I should get referral fees! Now I’m “the Austenland guy” I feel obliged to do a regency larp…

Hey SF! Joybubbles will be at SFFilm! Can’t wait for all my SF friends to see it!

mysterious worlds of "Control" game, enigmatic corridors by "Severance", Satoshi Kon's genious visions of "Paprika", even a less known animation "The King and the Mockingbird" (I watched in in my childhood endlessly). And of course Kane's own youtube masterpiece, just to mention some.

Liminal topic will be mainstream 2026, as the movie by Kane Parsons' "The Backrooms" will hit the theaters. Yet the aesthetic is way older. Look what a great book I found in Japan: "Liminal Space / リミナルスペース" by ALT236 (ALT236) (translated from French).

Just finished this for a work-related project- the heroes are all absolutely pathologically sociopathic. I was just mad.

What a month! Winner of the No Proscenium Audience Choice award 2026 for the UK and now on the shortlist for Global Experience of the year 2026 (small) from The World Experience Organisation. So proud! #NoProscenium #Awardseason #WXO #Immersivetheatre

Thank you, WXO, for shortlisting Lennox Mutual for Experience of the Year. :)

This is a wildly fun at-home immersive experience! Worth trying out for a fun and engaging story with very cool creators.

Inside of you are two cats.

Head back to the era of Y2K for a version of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow told through letters, sketches, and artifacts from the era of cassette tapes, flip phones, and zines. Our latest Now Funding is all about SLEEPY HOLLOW, 1998, which launched today on Kickstarter.

I also backed this incredible project!

Thrilled to see that two experiences I love, @candlehouse.bsky.social’s Lennox Mutual and Lemon Difficult’s @thekeyofdreams.co.uk, are both nominated for WXO’s Experience of the Year (small)!

I added this gorgeous setlist to Apple Music, for those of us that eschew Spotify. music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

Just ordered this beautiful asymmetrical game featuring a questing beast and a pursuing hero. Wildly beautiful and intense.

eflecting on some of the first telephonic theater I experienced: Blast Theory’s “A Machine to See With” at Sundance. I remember being so unnerved and uncertain, getting into a car with a stranger under the auspices of colluding on a crime.

…Huh. So the Backrooms is how we finally get our [blue]House[/blue] of Leaves movie.

What's the secret behind the impeccable timing at Masquerade, which has six separate audiences who never run into each other? Applied math, according to the Wall Street Journal. (Possible paywall.) This Musical's Secret Weapon Is a Math Major www.wsj.com/arts-culture/thea...

I love Liz, and have been friends with her since I met her though a friend. She was the first person to recommend Then She Fell to me, and we’ve been going on adventures ever since.

Adrian and I attended the incredible Austenland immersive experience at the same time—I had been previously, of course, but Adrian captured a lot of the structural and safety concerns I’d had. It remains my favorite immersive to date, Jenny’s 5-hour video notwithstanding.

This looks incredibly fun— From the people that brought you Club Drosselmeyer! www.secretcityadventures.com/the-wedding-...
