Founded in February 2021, French startup Dark Matters is set to unveil Gaul’s first virtual production facility. Setting up camp 23 miles from Paris, the 180,000 square-foot studio will open its doors this coming April, offering the local industry five new soundstages equipped for both traditional production and the LED-backed virtual sets made famous by the Ilm Stagecraft system used on “The Mandalorian.”
Backed by €10 million ($11.3 million) in Vc funding from Paris-based firms Anaxago and CapHorn, and benefiting from another $2.2 million in public support, the full-service facility will be split between four core departments, focusing on hardware and software innovation, virtual production and creative development. All four will be housed under the same roof, in what the Dark Matters brass have rather tellingly named the Campus.
