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.
