Welcome to the Future.
The built environment is a linchpin that holds much of our world together, impacting everything from new technology to quality of life on earth.
By using Design Fiction Thinking, we can build a better future; not through prediction, but through speculative design. By asking the right questions, we unlock new potentials to uplevel life so all thrives.
It is time to disrupt the "now" by presenting futuristic design ideas through Visionary Films that envision, explain, explore, and engage to invent new trajectories for a better world.
MLL Atelier LLC offers futuristic environmental concept design through spellbinding films ideal for marketing, innovation, editorial, or cinema — on TV or the big screen.
As produced by internationally recognized environmental design expert, Maria Lorena Lehman, each Visionary Film imagines new experiences and growth paths by leveraging the future, to breakthrough to new possibilities for humanity.
Travel into an amazing future — through a Visionary Film for your organization's next event, publication, online feature, television broadcast, or cinematic release.
