Felix & Paul Studios, the Emmy Award-winning immersive entertainment pioneer, today announced that it has secured financing for its most ambitious project yet, a location-based VR (LBVR) experience based on a brand-new IP set to launch in 2025. With financial backing from Export Development Canada (EDC), The Bank for Canadian Entrepreneurs (BDC), the Société de développement des entreprises culturelles (SODEC), and National Bank of Canada’s Creative Industries Group, the Studio is charting a new course in the entertainment and extended reality (XR) industries.

We are proud to count on the backing of creative financial partners like EDC, BDC, SODEC, and National Bank of Canada, whose support is pivotal to our pioneering role in the immersive entertainment market. Their support strengthens our commitment to the evolution of digital entertainment. Space Explorers: THE INFINITE, has demonstrated the potential of location-based VR for both financial returns and popular appeal. As we embark on our most daring and ambitious project yet, we’re setting the pace for our Studio’s growth.
Stéphane Rituit, CEO of Felix & Paul Studios

Over the past decade, Felix & Paul Studios has not only garnered acclaim for its innovative VR productions, such as the EMMY Award-winning Space Explorers series, but has also laid the groundwork for the evolution of LBVR with Space Explorers: THE INFINITE *, which attracts hundreds of thousands of spectators every year as it tours North America with plans to expand to Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

This round of top-tier financing showcases a strong vote of confidence in the Studio’s vision and its potential to reimagine the entertainment landscape.
