Between the drawing and the build.
Function MFG is a team of live-events specialists integrating lighting, audio and video into live entertainment, film, themed entertainment, fashion and architecture — sitting between the designers, producers and architects who imagine the work and the scene shops, fabricators and contractors who build it.
