Sharing the awe and wonder of space
through films & immersive experiences
We’ve spent years interviewing astronauts, scientists, and the people sending missions to space while documenting hundreds of rocket launches with our cinema and VR cameras and custom-built microphones.

MaryLiz is an experiential artist—a producer of music, films, and shows, an artist, technologist, explorer, and analog astronaut. As a musician, technologist, and futurist, she is deeply inspired to answer the question, “How will we take our humanity with us to the stars?” She is currently researching and experimenting with new tools of creation that aim to answer that question, and touring her Cosmic Perspective show, which inspires the audience to engage in this exhilarating thought experiment.

Andrew Keating
Audio Engineer
As the house engineer for a Bay Area recording studio, Andrew spent over a decade producing and mixing countless acts while occasionally adding his drumming to the mix. He developed a knack for micro electronics, building prototype time-lapse rails, camera control heads, jibs and other production equipment. Andrew later transitioned into a more corporate environment as a video network engineer, specializing in broadcast events, developing standards for streamlining mobile studio deployments. Consumed with all the excitement of Starship, he packed up all the gear he could and headed to Texas. Joining Cosmic Perspective, Andrew used equipment he developed to capture the audio of Ship 20’s static fires, becoming an essential member of the team. Being immersed in the sounds of the launch pad are the result of Andrew’s wealth of expert knowledge combined with state-of-the-art, bespoke equipment.
John Pisani
Space Coast Chronicler
John is a local on Florida’s Space Coast. Originally moving there as the Shuttle Program was in its final years, he was inspired by the history and accomplishments of the past, and newly revitalized space programs to pick up an old hobby, photography. He has since captured over one hundred launches from all over Brevard County. While rocket launches are a spectacle in themselves, John also loves exploring the natural beauty that surrounds the spaceport and capturing both together. His purpose in doing all of this is to help inspire the next generation of space pioneers and stoke the curiosity of others.
