Our Story
Stellaris Studios was founded in 2010 by Elias Thorne and Anya Petrova, two passionate filmmakers who met at the California Institute of the Arts. Driven by a shared vision to create impactful and visually stunning video content, they started Stellaris Studios in a small garage in Los Angeles. Their initial focus was on producing short films and documentaries, showcasing their talent for storytelling and cinematography. As their reputation grew, they began receiving requests for commercial projects and corporate videos, leading to the expansion of their services.
Over the years, Stellaris Studios has evolved into a full-service video production company, serving a diverse range of clients from small businesses to large corporations. The studio has invested in state-of-the-art equipment and assembled a team of highly skilled professionals, including cinematographers, editors, animators, and sound designers. Despite its growth, Stellaris Studios remains committed to its founding principles of creativity, quality, and client satisfaction.
In 2018, Stellaris Studios relocated to a larger, custom-built facility in Techville, California, allowing for expanded production capabilities and a more collaborative work environment. The new studio features multiple editing suites, a soundproof recording booth, and a spacious shooting stage. This move marked a significant milestone in the company's history, solidifying its position as a leading video production studio in the region.
