Orbital Studios Moving to Television City Lot – Film News in Brief

Orbital Studios has relocated its LED walls to Television City, the former CBS studio on Los Angeles’ Fairfax Avenue.

The virtual production company moved its headquarters from the L.A. Arts District to the historic lot once home to “The Carol Burnett Show” and “The Price Is Right.”

The move provides LED volume possibilities for Television City, supported by Orbital Studios’s virtual production and research and development lab. Virtual production uses technology like CGI, LED screens or augmented reality to create effects and backdrops on a physical set. For Netflix’s “Nemesis,” Orbital Studios rebuilt portions of downtown Los Angeles using digital scans.

Orbital Studios is currently in production on “The Drop: A Snowfall Saga” series for FX and has previously worked on “Justified: City Primeval,” “History’s Greatest Heists” and “World War II with Tom Hanks.”

Horror Satire ‘Namaslay’ to Open in Theaters on Aug. 6

The genre-bending horror yoga satire “Namaslay” from Junghal Studios will open in theaters in New York and Los Angeles on Aug. 6, and expand nationwide on Aug. 13. Written and directed by Rish and Kanish, the story revolves around a woman who arrives in Los Angeles, where she’s invited to join a yoga instructor program at an upscale studio. When she’s invited to the instructor’s retreat, she “discovers the ulterior nature of her invitation,” according to the synopsis. It “turns the wellness industry upside down in a blood-soaked cultural reckoning,” according to the producers.

Produced by Venk Potula alongside Rish and Kanish, it stars Kirunthuja Srikanth-Talim, Angela Sant’Albano, Alicia Mitchell-Mangual, Usha Krishnan and Christina Moore.
