The breathtaking mountains of Ladakh are home to more than just people — they hold stories shared between humans, snow leopards, and the land itself.

Our upcoming mixed reality experience, SHAN focuses on the space where these lives intersect — physically, spiritually, and metaphorically. We know we have to bring the mountains into the headset with care and precision.

Our incredible scanner, Janek Burghardt, captured the terrain through drone photography and videography. Using techniques like Gaussian splats and photogrammetry, he’s helping shape a digital environment that remains deeply rooted in the textures and reality of Ladakh.

This isn’t just a backdrop. It’s part of the story.

“SHAN | Among Humans, Saints, and Snow Leopards” is a mixed reality documentary about coexistence — between humans and snow leopards, between tradition and change, in the high-altitude mountains of Ladakh, India.

Our small crew came together in Leh, Ladakh’s capital, at 3,500m above sea level. We had all travelled long distances with gear, excitement, and a shared commitment to telling this story with care.

Before anything else, we slowed down. We took the first couple of days to adjust to the altitude and plan our journey with intention. When we had the energy, we walked Leh’s winding streets, speaking with locals, observing, learning — always conscious that this story isn’t ours, but one we’re being trusted to tell.

🔍 Today is Endangered Species Day, a moment to reflect on the urgent need to protect Earth’s most vulnerable wildlife.

At NowHere Media, we’re drawing attention to the snow leopard—a symbol of the wild and remote high mountains of Central and South Asia. Though its status was recently downgraded from endangered to vulnerable by the IUCN, the snow leopard still faces mounting threats:
Poaching for its fur and use in traditional medicine

Decline in natural prey species such as wild mountain goats and sheep

Habitat degradation in fragile high-altitude ecosystems

Limited awareness and action from local communities and governments

🎥 As part of our commitment to spotlighting critical ecological stories, we’re currently developing Living with the Snow Leopards (WT) — a mixed reality experience exploring the deeply intertwined lives of snow leopards and local communities in the Himalayas, set against the urgent backdrop of climate change.

As storytellers and media makers, we believe in the power of raising awareness to inspire action. On this day, we also recognise the many other species on the brink — and reaffirm our hope and commitment to a future where they can thrive.
💬 Let’s keep the conversation going — and keep the wild alive.

This week marked the third anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Now more than ever, it is critical to combat misinformation and amplify Ukrainian voices. Stories from Ukraine must be heard, and we remain committed to giving them space.

Today, we would like to share images we captured while filming our 360-degree documentary, "You Destroy. We Create.", which earned our studio an Emmy nomination and a Peabody Award.

Our thoughts remain with our friends and colleagues in Ukraine during this somber time. Together, we stand in solidarity with Ukraine. 🇺🇦
