An immersive film studio in Los Angeles

We're The Metaverse Stage, the studio behind Spatial Film. We shoot Apple Immersive Video and VR180 on the Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive, and put it in your headset on Apple Vision Pro, Samsung Galaxy XR and Meta Quest.

What we do (and do well)

We help you create your reality with virtual reality.

  • Narrative

    Redefine your narrative storytelling through the intuitive use of bleeding-edge tech! We write short films and series for the headset, so the viewer stands in the scene with the characters.

  • Documentary and travel

    The Metaverse Stage team specializes in telling stories in VR documentary formats: a Revolutionary War reenactment at musket range, George Washington's Mount Vernon, the Costa Rican rainforest and the sky over Boston.

    Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge, Los Guardianes

  • Branded and commercial

    We help influencers and brands jumpstart their immersive content creation. We've made immersive spots, product reveals and fashion and launch films for Canon, Dior, Netflix, Meta and INFINITI.

  • Music

    360° and 180° music videos and live sets, mixed in spatial audio. We get to play with the musicians and bridge the gap between them and their audience!
