COSM PARTNERS WITH RENOWNED PHOTOGRAPHER BO BRIDGES TO UNVEIL “BIG WAVE: NO ROOM FOR ERROR” OCEANIC EXPERIENCE IN “SHARED REALITY”
Cosm will present Bridges’ one-of-a-kind film in immersive 12K+, transporting audiences to some of the biggest and most dangerous waves from around the world
February 11, 2025 (LOS ANGELES, CA) – Cosm, a leading immersive technology, media, and entertainment company, today announced its latest creator partnership with world-renowned photographer and filmmaker Bo Bridges to present Big Wave: No Room for Error, an oceanic experience through the eyes of expert surfers shot in immersive 12K+ and produced for Cosm’s Shared Reality venues.
Set to premiere on March 15, 2025, Big Wave: No Room for Error, a Cosm Studios Original, will draw audiences into some of the biggest and most dangerous waves from around the world. A beautiful, visceral voyage into some of the most extreme oceanic frontiers, the 60-minute film presents multiple iconic and remote locations, including Nazare, Portugal, and the famed Teahupo'o in Tahiti, in Shared Reality – an immersive experience driven by Cosm’s state-of-the-art visuals which seamlessly bridge the virtual and physical worlds.
“When developing this piece, I wanted to capture the intensity, feeling, and emotion of a surfer's experience while out in the ocean,” said Bo Bridges, world-renowned photographer, filmmaker and director behind Big Wave: No Room for Error. “Cosm has created a world that enables the viewer to become immersed in the action. I can't wait for audiences to be introduced to this world and feel that rush for themselves.”
Utilizing underwater and aerial footage, Bridges and Big Wave: No Room for Error pushes the boundaries of visual storytelling, placing the audience in the heart of the action and allowing them to experience the world through the eyes of risk-taking and boundary-breaking surfers, like Tahitian athlete Heimiti Fierro who, in Bridges' film, attempts to conquer the legendary big waves at Teahupo’o. Bridges’ work will additionally feature an immersive soundscape, featuring music by Pearl Jam, Glass Animals, and the score of 16-time Emmy award winning composer Didier Lean Rachou.
“We are thrilled to bring Big Wave to life at Cosm,” said Jeb Terry, President and CEO at Cosm. “It has been a great privilege to work with Bo and his team. Their creative vision and powerful storytelling techniques produce an unmistakably authentic perspective. Cosm's technology is perfectly suited to immerse the audience in the story, and our hospitality will ensure fans leave with an unforgettable experience. We will take guests on top of and below the waves, bringing the raw power of the ocean into our Venues. We can’t all ride the big waves like these incredible athletes, but Cosm will bring fans closer to the action than ever before.”
Fostering the art of full dome filmmaking and the immersive creator ecosystem, Cosm Studios, the company’s content and storytelling arm, works with an interdisciplinary community of some of the most talented artists, filmmakers, technologists, and experience designers to push the boundaries of immersive storytelling and design. Big Wave: No Room for Error empowers the audience to explore human connection with the ocean and the dangerously stunning power of Mother Nature, through Cosm’s revolutionary LED canvas.
Bridges becomes the fifth artist to join Cosm Studios’ Creator Program alongside award-winning new media artist Nancy Baker Cahill; filmmaker, director, and co-founder of Planetary Collective Guy Reid; visionary artist and musician Chris Holmes; and acclaimed composer and new media artist Ricardo Romaneiro.
