Company
D.C Alacrity started with one series shot by hand, became production software, then shipped the first live-action interactive VR film in the entire Southeast USA. Today we make reality interactive: real people and real places you can step inside and choose in. Built in Wilmington, North Carolina.
The team
Film and computer science, side by side. This team shipped the first live-action interactive VR film in the entire Southeast USA with production software it built itself.
Founder & CEO
D.C built Pure Alacrity and led Right Here Right Now! to the Meta store. He has worked every department on a film set, and he leads strategy, product and partnerships.
He’s a Tier II Cybersecurity Analyst, and he ran the finances as Deputy Project Manager of a NASA L’SPACE Academy team.
Chief Technology Officer
Kian built the VR mechanics behind Right Here Right Now! and now leads Alacrity Player across Quest, the web and phones, plus the Experience Machine’s renderer and AI layer.
He works across spatial computing, Unity, C#, Flutter and Firebase, and researches agentic AI. B.S. in Computer Science, UNCW; M.S. completing December 2026.
Ryan runs the client side of the company, from the first call to the delivered experience. He builds the pipeline, writes the proposals, produces every client shoot and books the crews. He is also line producer on Prize Pool VR.
Tommy co-directed and co-wrote Right Here Right Now! and directs Prize Pool VR. He designs the branches and directs every shoot, from a broker’s tour to the originals slate, with a gift for ensembles and quick dialogue.
Mason makes sure every deliverable is finished: stitching, editing, color, sound and the final compile for headsets, browsers and phones. A spatial and immersive audio specialist, he led sound design on Sidequest.
Tyler is a licensed, experienced drone and LiDAR operator who owns every scan the company makes. He leads spatial capture on each job and writes the capture spec that certified crews in other cities will follow.
Our word
The dictionary says alacrity is cheerful readiness. We mean more: being so excited for the future that you run to meet it. Our mark is a hand reaching up as lightning runs into an arrow, the spark the instant before you move. Bright, ready, fast, electric, bold. We intend to own the word.
Give people agency inside the stories, places and situations they experience.
The verified layer of reality for the AI era. For over a century, video let people watch. Now they can step inside real places, change them and still trust what they see. That is the Experience Industry, and the Experience Machine is how we build it.
A student in community college started a series called Sidequest and carried it from Raleigh to Wilmington. Making it by hand, with every change rippling through schedules, budgets and call sheets, led him to build his own production software. Then he led the team that shipped the first live-action interactive VR film in the entire Southeast USA, and hit the same problem multiplied: every choice the viewer makes is another day of filming. So he built the engine that makes interactive video practical, then pointed it at real places, in an age that badly needs reality it can trust. Roots in Nigeria, Raleigh and Wilmington.
Values
Alacrity is the name for a reason. Ship, learn, ship again. Sprinting the Marathon of Tomorrow.
A clear next step, data that agrees with itself, and something you can review and understand.
For viewers inside our experiences, for filmmakers with free tools, and for crews with clear information.
Proposed is proposed, done is done. Our numbers match everywhere.
We are filmmakers first. Interactive doesn’t excuse bad lighting, bad sound or a bad story.
Wilmington crews, UNCW students, and the next filmmaker from anywhere.
Our purpose · Our motto
Sprinting the Marathon of Tomorrow.
To us, Alacrity is the speed of optimism. It begins with believing tomorrow will be better than today, and choosing to help build it now instead of waiting. “Sprinting the Marathon of Tomorrow” is how we work: the energy of a sprint, with the endurance to keep going far beyond the next production. Every film should leave more behind than a finished title: skills people can carry forward, tools another team can use, and ownership that funds what comes next.
Our ambition is to help make North Carolina a driving force in the future of cinema and a place where creative and technical talent can build lasting careers. We develop original intellectual property, build the technology our productions need, and turn what we learn into workflows others can use. The business is designed to connect the value of a story with the value of the systems behind it, creating opportunities across production, software and immersive media.
We call this the Experience Industry: filmmakers, performers, engineers and researchers working together to create experiences people can enter, influence and share. Right Here Right Now! brought our live-action interactive filmmaking to Meta Quest. Prize Pool VR, now in development, is the next test of that approach at a larger production scale. Pure Alacrity and Alacrity Player are part of our work to make the process more accessible and repeatable.
North Carolina, together
Wilmington brings film, university research and coastal enterprise into the same community. Its Blue Economy connects economic opportunity with the sustainable use of ocean and coastal resources. We see an opportunity for immersive media to help the people doing that work communicate what matters, share expertise and bring others closer to environments they may never experience firsthand.
We are seeking collaborations with marine researchers, educators and coastal businesses to explore immersive science communication, interactive learning and shared VR experiences. Those collaborations would give our creative and technical work a wider purpose while opening new avenues for local expertise. Our ambition is to help North Carolina’s industries grow together, with filmmaking contributing to innovation across the wider economy.
