Six 18,000 sq ft audience-rated sound stages. A dedicated dark-fiber run into One Wilshire — the Western United States' premier carrier hotel. Marziani InMersion Systems™ on the lot. One campus where AI filmmaking, content creation, and virtual production happen at the speed the work demands.
AI-native production doesn't bottleneck at the camera anymore. It bottlenecks at data — moving terabytes of RAW, plates, scans, and model weights between stage, edit, and cloud GPU. Most studios pretend their gigabit office internet solves this. It doesn't.
This campus was built for the new bottleneck. A documented Wilcon dark-fiber and 10G lit build runs directly into LA Center Studios, and Wilcon's key metro hub sits inside One Wilshire — the premier communications hub of the Pacific Rim, where roughly a third of all U.S.–Asia internet traffic passes and 300+ networks meet in the CoreSite Meet-Me Room.
That means cloud GPU render farms, model weights, and 4K–8K footage move at metro-fiber latency, not office-internet latency. The stage, the machine room, and the cloud become one room.
Layer Marziani InMersion Systems™ on top — a coordinated AI film studio, planar wavefront audio, and a next-generation compute architecture — and the campus closes the loop from first idea to finished master without ever leaving the lot.
The most technologically advanced sound stages in Los Angeles — audience-rated, floating wood floors, 150 tons of silent air.
Every stage is audience-rated — built to hold live audiences, not just crews — with floating wood floors that isolate vibration and 150 tons of silent air handling that keeps even the quietest dialogue takes clean.
These stages have carried blockbusters and prestige television alike: Top Gun: Maverick, Mank, History of the World Part II, Westworld, Winning Time, Mad Men, and Iron Chef all shot here.
For AI and virtual production work, scale is the point: an 18,000 sq ft clear span swallows a full LED volume with room for camera runs, vehicle work, and audience experiences simultaneously.
Six independent stages, each larger than most competitors' flagship volumes — room for LED walls, camera tracking runs, and practical builds in the same footprint.
Structurally and acoustically rated for live audiences — rare in LA, and essential when an AI-assisted show wants a crowd in the room.
HVAC engineered for production silence: full climate handling without a single audible cycle in the room.
Beyond the stages: 20 acres of practical locations — closed-off public streets, standing sets, a subterranean garage, loading docks, and a versatile lobby — shot by location managers for features, commercials, music videos, and stills for two decades.
The 12-story tower adds 450,000 sq ft of Class A offices for production, post, game studios, and creative companies — with build-to-suit options for AI teams that need machine rooms adjacent to their edit bays.
The campus has hosted everything from LA Food & Wine to Bethesda Game Studios, the NBA Players Association, Activision, DreamWorks, EA, and PwC — from 100-person affairs to 10,000-person events.
The campus's arrival layer is built for the way top-tier production actually moves: by air. A dedicated eVTOL vertiport for electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft — the Archer-class air taxis coming to Los Angeles — plus heavy-lift helicopter capacity sized for Sikorsky S-70i and S-70 FIREHAWK-class machines.
eVTOL vertiport. A dedicated landing pad for electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft — the Archer-class network rising across Los Angeles — putting the campus minutes from anywhere in the basin, airborne, above the traffic that costs productions hours.
Helicopter-capable. The arrival environment is sized for Sikorsky S-70i and S-70 FIREHAWK-class twin-engine helicopters — aircraft that carry crews, gear, and executives straight onto the lot.
Talent lands, walks into hair and makeup, and steps onto the stage. No freeway, no convoy, no motorcade. In a town where time is the most expensive line item, arrival by air is the last speed advantage the campus adds.

Electric vertical take-off and landing pad for the Archer-class air-taxi network — quiet, zero-emission, minutes across the LA basin.
Capacity for Sikorsky S-70i and S-70 FIREHAWK-class machines — crew, cargo, and VIP movements direct to the lot.
Minutes from the financial district, the arts district, and the connectivity of One Wilshire — with 20 acres of parking and basecamp when the air isn't the answer.
Through our resident experience-design practice, any of the six stages becomes an environment people walk into and remember — shared-reality domes, holographic performance, concert-scale scenography, sensory fields, and brand reveals. The same rooms that shoot the content can premiere it.
Geodesic dome environments with seamless sky and cosmos projection — no headsets, human scale, every seat a good seat.
Luminous volumetric presence hovering over the stage floor — the scale of a stadium show inside an audience-rated room.
Monumental light architecture — rings, beams, and reflective floors built for touring shows and televised performance.
Walk-through installations of light and sound — thousands of luminous elements mapped to the Planar Matryxx™ wavefront, responsive to the crowd.
Product and story environments where the reveal is architectural — sculptural objects carved from darkness, floors that answer with light.
Stage 1 carries a 50'×30'×16' in-ground tank — underwater and water-surface worlds, from The Ring 2 to aquatic immersive theatre.
The campus's resident technology stack unites four systems into one production pipeline — AI filmmaking, planar wavefront audio, next-generation compute, and immersive experience design.
Marziani Cinema™ — a coordinated AI film studio that carries a project from first draft to finished scene: story, characters, cinematography, sound, and effects, directed in plain English, with 4K camera footage and 70 mm IMAX scans as first-class citizens.
Planar Matryxx™ arrays turn a stage into a coherent wavefront instrument, and the wider InMersion stack reaches from AI production through immersive installation design.
It is the difference between renting a stage and working inside a built-for-purpose AI production instrument.
