Los Angeles, USA

Liam Young is a designer, director, and BAFTA-nominated producer who operates in the spaces between design, fiction, and futures. Described by the BBC as “the man designing our futures,” his visionary films and speculative worlds are both extraordinary images of tomorrow and urgent examinations of the environmental questions facing us today. As a worldbuilder he visualizes the cities, spaces, and props of our imaginary futures for the film and television industry. His own films have premiered with platforms ranging from Channel 4, Tribeca, Venice Biennale, the BBC, and the Guardian, and they have been collected by MoMA, Smithsonian, Art Institute of Chicago, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and the National Gallery of Victoria amongst many others. Liam’s film work is informed by his academic research, and he has held guest professorships at Princeton University, MIT, and Cambridge. He now runs the ground breaking Masters in Fiction and Entertainment at SCI Arc in Los Angeles.
