EPIC IMMERSIVE

Epic Immersive is a globe-trotting, pioneering experiential agency at the vanguard of immersive storytelling.

Under Steve’s leadership, Epic has created 14-acre real-world original fictional cities with World’s Fairs, historic buildings, and hundreds of actor-citizens; run a secret society of noir wonderlands and tunnels underneath San Francisco that guests entered by plunging through a slide in a fireplace behind a hidden door; designed secret experiences in the woods for venture capital firms; consulted for Netflix; developed virtual reality experiences with live actors for Google; thrown massive parties for Silicon Valley giants like Apple and Meta and Amazon; pioneered 360-films and live action role-playing board games for a major California foster care organization, hosted weeklong adventures where guests flew to Mexico to traverse an epic story of Shakespearean and mythological scale across destination Indian weddings and candlelit underwater rituals in the jungles and caverns and Mayan ruins of Mexico; and pursued diverse collaborations with everyone from indigenous artists in the Yucatán to survivors of the Japanese-American internment camps.

Epic has produced major gatherings for the entire immersive arts and entertainment industry with partners like AREA15 Las Vegas, bringing together for the first time guests like the Founders of Punchdrunk, Cirque du Soleil, and Meow Wolf with the creators of Disney’s Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, as well as leaders in the international experiential scene from China, India, France, the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Brazil alongside XR pioneers from Niantic and Oculus and theatrical artists at the political frontier like the Belarus Free Theater.

Steve also founded the Underland Incubator in San Francisco, which focused on accelerating and curating experiential work by artists from underrepresented backgrounds. Every year since Epic Immersive was founded, more than half of Epic’s artists and speakers have always been women and more than half have always been creators of color. His work has been praised as “epic,” “once-in-a-lifetime,” “transformative,” “life-changing,” “mind-blowing,” “visionary,” “the ultimate bucket list experience,” “the best party Apple’s ever thrown,” and “the bleeding edge of storytelling.”

BUILD AMERICA.
DEFEAT FASCISM.

“Hundreds gathered on a weeknight this month to mingle with fellow devotees. Banners at the gathering read ‘Build America, Defeat Fascism.’”

“‘I want the 2028 primaries and the presidential race to be about who is for Progressive Abundance,’ Steve M. Boyle, one of the San Francisco happy hour’s organizers and the Executive Director of the newly-formed YIMBY Democrats for America, said in an interview.”

YIMBY DEMOCRATS FOR AMERICA

Steve is the Executive Director of YIMBY Democrats for America and the Host of Radio Abundance.

Steve leapt into politics to build the production team and aesthetics for YIMBYs for Harris’ first fundraiser, featuring 70+ YIMBY speakers, which The Wall Street Journal dubbed “YIMBYchella” and hailed as “a breakthrough moment for the decade-old YIMBY movement.” Next, Steve mobilized tens of thousands of phone-banking calls with events featuring Senator Elizabeth Warren, Senator Brian Schatz, Governor Wes Moore, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, Governor Jared Polis, Congressman Robert Garcia, and Congressman Maxwell Frost, with coverage by The Washington Post, Politico, Axios, The Atlantic, Semafor, and The San Francisco Chronicle. Along the way, Steve raised $100,000 for the Kamala Harris campaign with his projects Immersive for Kamala and Adventurers for Harris, creating interactive Dungeons & Dragons games played by stars like Sean Astin of The Lord of the Rings.

Now, Steve leads YIMBY Democrats for America and hosts YIMBY Democrats for America’s signature podcast, Radio Abundance, which premiered in 2025 with Maryland Governor Wes Moore and United States Congressman Jake Auchincloss. Steve is the creator of YIMBY Democrats for America’s FDR-inspired aesthetics of patriotic mythology, as well as YIMBY Democrats for America’s twin missions: Build America and Defeat Fascism. Steve also coined the phrase that serves as YIMBY Democrats for America’s North Star: “Progressive Abundance.”

YIMBY Democrats for America led The Wall Street Journal’s trend piece on Abundance within the Democratic Party, where their premiere sold-out event was celebrated and Steve was quoted alongside Ezra Klein and Members of Congress like Josh Harder and Ro Khanna. Steve produces and hosts the Radio Abundance podcast, which has featured leaders like Maryland Governor Wes Moore, Colorado Governor Jared Polis, and Members of Congress Robert Garcia, Laura Friedman, Scott Peters, Ro Khanna, Ritchie Torres, Jake Auchincloss, and many more.
