Developed in collaboration with Mo-Sys, INFiLED, Nvidia, and Brompton, Door G’s virtual production stage integrates with Unreal Engine to enable a sustainable storytelling approach. Door G’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of creativity extends beyond virtual production. The studio also specializes in creative development, traditional production, post-production, studio rentals and AI consulting. “We started Door G not just to leverage emerging technologies, but to do imaginative storytelling that wasn’t possible a few years ago,” said Steve Rosa, CEO of (add)global, Door G’s parent company. “We’re going to push boundaries with our partners–filmmakers, brands and agencies–-to keep creating new worlds of possibilities in our studio.” Door G is located just 12 miles from Rhode Island T.F.
