Immersive digital fiction
Led by digital artists Andy Campbell and Judi Alston, Dreaming Methods is a UK-based studio that creates immersive and compelling fictional experiences through VR, film, digital art and games, with a strong focus on reimagining writing and literacy.
As an independent studio we create our own projects with a commercial focus to support our growth and sustainability while adding to the creative richness and diversity of the Yorkshire region.
Our artistic VR collaboration Monoliths was shortlisted for the London Film Festival Immersive XR/Art Award 2022 and showcased at many other international film festivals. Our latest cross-genre VR experience exploring climate change, displacement and AI is The Abandoned Library funded by XR Stories which won the Most Innovative Use of Technology in the Game Republic Awards 2023 and Best VR of the Year at the Los Angeles Film Awards 2024.
Dreaming Methods’ unique and distinctive works are available across multiple platforms and used in schools and universities worldwide as well as providing a focus for academic research.
