We do it in public
At Moment Factory, we bring people together. Our shows and destinations pioneer forms of entertainment that offer the world new experiences. Whether at a concert, a flagship store or across an urban square, we aim to inspire a sense of collective wonder and connection.

The campfire has long played an essential role in human life: a source of light, heat and safety. But it is also a gathering place where stories are told and ideas are shared.
The place of fire in our lives has evolved. But the deep need to gather and share stories remains. Drawing from a bottomless multimedia toolbox, we deliver high-impact projects that serve as modern-day gathering places. We tell stories that reconnect us to each other and to a sense of belonging to something bigger. We are builders of digital campfires.
As technology offers us infinite opportunities to interact through personal devices, the need to physically bring people together seems more vital than ever. Be it a fleeting moment or a repeatable destination-based visit, our objective is simple: to draw people out of their homes toward collective experiences. To do this, we create epic encounters that spark public participation and spread positive energy.
This is why we do it in public.

In 2001, Sakchin Bessette and Dominic Audet founded Moment Factory. With a background in visual art and a passion for storytelling, Sakchin (or Saky, as he is known) is the studio’s Creative Director. Dominic’s audiovisual expertise and futuristic vision makes him Moment Factory’s Chief Innovation Officer. Both are fired by a perpetual desire to create unforgettable experiences that inspire a strong emotional response. Together, their skills give rise to some amazing multimedia entertainment.
When Moment Factory expanded in 2007, Éric Fournier joined the team as partner and Executive Producer, helping to expand the studio’s horizons. With his experience as Senior Vice President of New Ventures at Cirque du Soleil and as Vice President of Strategic Planning at Bombardier, he quickly assumed the role of creative visionary, seeking out innovative opportunities in new sectors. His business savvy has been instrumental in turning Moment Factory into an industry leader.
Together, the three partners make the company what it is today.
