Gargoyle Doyle

An interactive VR comedy like you’ve never seen before! Doyle (voiced by Jason Isaacs) is a grouchy, self-important gargoyle with a chip on his shoulder – quite literally, as he was damaged in a fall during installation above the cathedral’s main entrance. Relegated to a back alcove with other irregular gargoyles, Doyle resents the hand life dealt him, especially the fact that he is stuck two feet from Chet (Haley Joel Osment), a decorative metal rain gutter. Chet is the yin to Doyle’s yang, a chatterbox optimist who never shuts up. Ever.

Doyle and Chet watch the world change around them as their alcove falls into disrepair. Hundreds of years later, as bulldozers surround the cathedral for demolition, both must confront who they really are and what their lives add up to. The first cinematic narrative for the era of spatial compuing, let an enigmatic guide (T’Nia Miller) transports you into the world of Doyle and Chet, while also bringing them out to share your world.

This 40-minute narrative won Cristal for the Best VR work at the 2024 Annecy Animation Festival.
