DARK SLOPE EXPANDS VIRTUAL PRODUCTION FOOTPRINT WITH NEW VANCOUVER STAGE AT NORTH SHORE STUDIOS

VANCOUVER, BC — Dark Slope today announced the opening of a state-of-the-art virtual

production stage at North Shore Studios in Vancouver, British Columbia. With construction

beginning immediately, the new stage will bring the capabilities of Dark Slope's Toronto

operation to Canada's West Coast, supporting feature films, scripted and unscripted television,

commercials and other productions. Located within North Shore Studios' eight-stage campus,

the facility will combine advanced LED volume technology with Dark Slope's innovative,

cost-effective production workflows. The space will also serve as a laboratory for greyboxing

research and development, enabling new approaches to virtual production.

Beyond its permanent stages in Toronto and the new location at North Shore Studios,

Vancouver, Dark Slope will be offering to design, build and operate custom LED stages of any

size or configuration popped up at any studio or production locations worldwide, providing

tailored virtual production solutions that maximize creative possibilities.

“British Columbia’s production industry is built on exceptional crews, world-leading visual effects

companies and a longstanding culture of innovation. We can’t wait to become a new resource in

the local industry,” said Dan Fill, President of Dark Slope.

The expansion follows Dark Slope's acquisition of Sony's expansive virtual production assets

from Pinewood Studios Toronto and select assets from Pixomondo's Vancouver operation,

building on the company’s growing investment in virtual production technology and infrastructure

across Canada.

“With eight soundstages, extensive production facilities and backlot capabilities, North Shore

Studios offer filmmakers a comprehensive production environment,” said Amy Lang, President

of North Shore Studios. “Dark Slope’s virtual production capabilities are a natural complement to

our existing infrastructure, giving producers access to advanced virtual technology alongside

our soundstages and resources, and further strengthening Vancouver’s position as a premier

destination for film and television production."

Dark Slope has delivered virtual production solutions across a wide range of genres, from

unscripted television and breathtaking documentary recreations to scripted dramas and feature

films, with credits including The Boys, Gen V, Heated Rivalry, Ginny & Georgia and Blink49’s

latest season of Disasters At Sea.
