Doug is a co-founder of Big Rock Creative, a XR company producing large scale events in VR. Big Rock’s first large project, BRCvr, created a fully immersive Burning Man festival in social VR starting in 2020 which generated much positive PR including an article in Wired Magazine. Big Rock won the Producer’s Guild Innovation Award and the Aurea Award. They have since worked on projects ranging from directing an XR music video featuring Pitbull, facilitating a Hollywood red carpet premiere in VR or creative directing the VR version of “Breonna’s Garden” that premiered in SXSW 2022 and won the Auggie that same year for Best Societal Impact. Most recently they teamed up with Microsoft to launch “Pride has no borders” – an interactive event space and exhibit in virtual reality. Currently, they are working on a new BRCvr project – a fully immersive documentary shot at last year’s Burning Man
