“Basically, I would like people to feel happier than when they came in – and, realize that this came from within them – and, their own awareness purged them of some bad mood or stress – that, they feel just a little bit lighter – inspired by what you can do with your own awareness.” — James Hood

Here’s what team collaborators have to say…

  • “Over the next year, we’re going to take this to various planetariums and domes all around the world.” — Bennet Freed, Executive Producer, Manager
  • “Mesmerica uses the power of immersive media that fills your field of vision to invoke unique brain states. James Hood is using this format to evoke positive brain-states, like happiness.” — ED LANTZ, Vortex Immersion Media
  • “It’s a show for the right-brain experience – no logic, no analysis. Our minds have gotten into the habit that we have to be thinking all the time. I think, that not thinking if very powerful!” — James Hood
  • “The concept of Mesmerica is to bring a sense of well-being to the audience – it’s playful, it’s awe-inspiring, it creates a sense of wonder”. — Kate McCallum, Producer
  • “It’ multi-dimensional – so, you have the imagery that goes on, overhead in the projection dome, then, you have James’ performance on stage. You don’t see a lot of live shows that do that! We love what he brings to the table — Phil Shearer, Lighting Designer
  • “So, working with James is particularly interesting. He’s an incredible collaborator; and, his music is really my script – what images to use, what transitions to use, when and how fast to make them. So, when you come in and see this show, it’s designed to transport you into the inner journey – hopefully, something really cool that you’ve never experienced before.” — Michael J. Saul Director, Animator, Editor
