# Breakwater
**A Series of AR Experiences**

## Overview

Breakwater is a Snap Original show that takes place in The Breakwater, a dangerous coastal slum just outside of the Los Angeles Seawall. In 2041, climate change has made the tidelands outside of LA nearly unlivable. But everyday people dream of winning the lottery to the safe side of the wall.

Studio ANRK created a series of immersive Snapchat AR experiences for the show, working with Snap and Verizon to bring the world of Breakwater to life in augmented reality.

## The World

A futuristic drama set in a not-so-distant future defined by the impact of climate change. The Breakwater is both a place and a state of mind — a world of danger, resilience, and hope at the edge of survival.
