IMAGINARY REPUBLIC

Imaginary Republic

A creative lab for the age of AI.

Storytellers imagined artificial minds long before anyone built one. The mechanical servant, the killing machine, even the robot that grew a heart: we wrote them all.

Now that these fantastical tools are real, the people who dreamed them up must take agency over how they’re used.

We believe AI is an exciting and daunting instrument for creative expression: conducted by human hands, used for human ends. Not to replace artists, but to push the frontier to the limits of our imagination.

We work with studios and storytellers, brands and artists to realize visions that don’t exist yet, from the first storyboard to the night it opens.

We create animated films and pitch decks for vast cinematic universes, old-fashioned books and bleeding-edge apps, precision tools for the solo artist and live experiences that hold a whole crowd in a feeling of collective effervescence.

So whether you’re looking for an AI Agency of Record, pro-grade tools to get your next tentpole greenlit, or help scouting the next wave of creative possibilities, book a call and we can help imagine a brighter future together.

KEEPING HUMANITY HUMAN SINCE 2026

What we’re making

Who we are

Imaginary Republic was founded by Jace Mercer, a full-stack creative whose career explores the messy boundary between story and technology: Cannes Golden Lion–winning Super Bowl commercials, features and documentaries at Sundance, years running digital agencies as an executive creative director, and animated features in development. He’s also a photographer whose work has been exhibited at the Smithsonian, and a novelist who spends the wee hours writing time-travel YA epics. Based in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

The Republic is open. We’re growing a collective of artists, filmmakers, coders and musicians. If that’s you, drop us a line.
