Griffith Observatory Activation
Project Hail Mary
For Project Hail Mary, we took over Griffith Observatory and turned it into something straight out of a sci-fi movie (because… it is). The EFX team handled everything — fabrication, print, and full install — building out custom displays, bold graphics, and portal-style structures that made the whole place feel like a launch point to another galaxy.
From eye-catching exterior pieces to immersive moments inside, every build was designed to pull people in, make them stop, and definitely snap a photo. It was the perfect mix of science, cinema, and “wait… this is actually really cool.”
Built by EFX. Approved by the universe.
Project Hail Mary
For Project Hail Mary, EFX stepped into Griffith Observatory and built an experience that matched the scale of both the venue and the film. From fabrication to print to final install, every piece was executed in-house and built to hit hard in a space that doesn’t allow average.
High stakes, iconic location, no second chances. Exactly the kind of job we show up for.
