Bowie State University is partnering with Revolutionary VP Studios, the new high-tech production facility in Laurel, to give students hands-on experience with the same type of virtual production technology being used across film, television, gaming and immersive media.
The partnership will support Bowie State’s new Immersive Media, Entertainment and Gaming program, which combines virtual production, animation, visual effects, cinematic storytelling, gaming and extended reality.
Revolutionary VP Studios has been developing the partnership with Bowie State professor and program coordinator Tewodross Melchishua Williams for about a year. The goal is to create a direct pipeline from the classroom into the industry, giving BSU students access to professional-level equipment, training and production opportunities.
The Laurel studio includes a massive 156-foot LED virtual production wall, along with full production and post-production capabilities, and is being built to attract film, TV, commercial and other major productions to the area.
It’s another significant piece of the growing film and creative-tech push happening right here in PG, with one of the county’s biggest new production investments now directly connected to Bowie State students.
Could PG County really become a legitimate film and entertainment production hub?
