At the Venice Biennale’s Venice International Film Festival, Liz was instrumental in launching Venice Immersive in 2017- the first and only official competition in an A-list festival for immersive arts.

She has also curated major exhibitions worldwide, including the first virtual reality exhibition in London in partnership with the BFI London Film Festival (2015), Red Sea Immersive in Saudi Arabia in (2021-2022), and Glow: Spotlight on VR (2024) - an exhibition celebrating women creators set to return to London in 2026.


Liz has spearheaded various leading initiatives for innovation in art and media. As Executive Producer, she co-designed and co-led CreativeXR, the UK’s flagship incubator and accelerator for immersive arts and media, a partnership between Digital Catapult and Arts Council England.

Her acclaimed programme The Pixel Lab supported the development of over one hundred projects, while the Cross-Media Forum, run in partnership with the BFI London Film Festival for nine years, pioneered the first international financing market for interactive and immersive projects.


Liz began her career in independent film and was Head of Next Wave Films in the UK, a division of the Independent Film Channel (US). The company helped support, finance and distribute micro-budget features by talented first and second time directors including Christopher Nolan’s Following and produced and financed some of the first feature films shot and edited with digital tools.

Production Company: Aura Studios

&#60;img width="1894" height="769" width_o="1894" height_o="769" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d56ff76b74c70f2baf84ca8d5b837fc6ba80049776e829e7de7b5c91227e3018/The-Baby-Factory-is-Closed_3.png" data-mid="250165982" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d56ff76b74c70f2baf84ca8d5b837fc6ba80049776e829e7de7b5c91227e3018/The-Baby-Factory-is-Closed_3.png" /&#62;
The Baby Factory is Closed is a 20 minute single-player immersive VR experience that places users inside the body of Zoraan, a British-born Sikh woman navigating menopause amidst climate collapse and the ruins of colonial medicine.

You breathe with her. You scream with her. You dance your way out of sedation.

Blending real-time visuals, bio-haptic feedback and diasporic sound, this work reframes menopause not as decline but as volatile power; closing ‘The Baby Factory’ to ignite a cultural revolution.

Using gesture, voice and biometric feedback, audiences become co-conspirators in a volatile act of embodied rebellion. This is not a metaphor. This is an insurgency.

Soul Paint (2024)Directors: Sarah Ticho, Niki SmitCredit: Executive Producer

&#60;img width="3026" height="1604" width_o="3026" height_o="1604" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/718ed6633f6f843d0ecbe6a088abcdf5bbf7de76b02c18546d0eab3ef935121a/Soul_Paint.png" data-mid="246566307" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/718ed6633f6f843d0ecbe6a088abcdf5bbf7de76b02c18546d0eab3ef935121a/Soul_Paint.png" /&#62;

Soul Paint is a multi-award winning virtual reality experience by Sarah Ticho &#38;amp; Niki Smit, backed by behavioural scientists and researchers. Narrated by Rosario Dawson, this experience asks you the question: ‘Where are you feeling?’ 

By combining 3D drawing, playful embodied interaction and personal introspection, you create an expressive virtual reality artwork about your own emotions and embodied sensations. You are invited to reveal your own unique inner reality and then observe the creations of others. 

This experience encourages new forms of embodied insight, allowing us to reflect on the diversity of human experience on an individual and global level.

An animated 6DoF VR series aimed at engaging young audiences with art by creating intimate, gripping and relatable experiences focused on the human stories behind some of the world’s greatest art and artists. Each episode uncovers themes from the artist’s context that resonate with contemporary life. 
This episode, The Light in the Shadow, explores the extraordinary story of one of today’s most celebrated Baroque artists: Artemisia Gentileschi. We follow her extraordinary journey as she navigates a time and world where women have virtually no rights and are essentially men’s property, and becomes one of Europe’s most celebrated and in-demand painters of her time. 
She painted herself into posterity within her own lifetime—this story is about how she rose up against the odds and impressed the whole of Europe with her talent, and how continues to capture our imaginations today.

Child of Empire is an animated virtual reality (VR) docu-drama experience which immerses viewers in one of the largest forced migrations in human history: the 1947 Partition of India and Pakistan.

The film takes audiences through a deeply personal perspective of this epic historical event. Two men from the Partition generation — Ishar Das Arora (voiced by Adil Hussain), an Indian Hindu who migrated from Pakistan to India, and Iqbal-ud-din Ahmed (voiced by Salman Shahid), a Pakistani Muslim who made the opposite journey — share childhood memories of their experiences while playing a board game. As the two men unpack their memories, audiences embody the experience of a 7-year-old child at key points in the migration. Child of Empire offers a powerful counter-narrative that lends a fresh perspective on the effects of forced migration on everyday individuals.

Held in association with the BFI London Film Festival, the forum brought together filmmakers, producers, technologists and digital innovators to explore new forms of storytelling across film, television, games and emerging media.

Running for more than a decade, the Cross-Media Forum became an influential platform for discussing the future of narrative in the digital age, showcasing pioneering projects and connecting creators with new models of financing, production and distribution. The event helped shape the early development of cross-platform and interactive storytelling by fostering collaboration between the creative industries and the rapidly evolving digital sector.
