Los Angeles, CA – Wild Capture, a leader in volumetric technology and digital human solutions, has been awarded the coveted Nexus Award at the 8th annual Infinity Festival's Monolith Awards in Hollywood, California for its innovative contributions to the entertainment industry.

According to the festival committee, this award "celebrates era-defining advances that were unimaginable before the stable integration of real-time technology, cloud computing, and XR. These innovations result from deep expertise, unwavering commitment to a singular vision, and leadership that attracts top talent, often without widespread understanding or assurance of success." By leveraging proprietary solutions and expert knowledge, Wild Capture’s technology seamlessly integrates photorealistic digital characters into diverse projects, including film, television, gaming, and augmented reality.
Co-founders Wilfred Driscoll, CEO and Louis Normandin COO accepted the award at the ceremony. "This recognition validates our belief that storytelling remains paramount in creative technology," said Normandin. "In a landscape dominated by AI discussions, receiving this award for a solver that doesn't rely on generative AI underscores the continued importance of traditionally directable production and creative content. Receiving the Monolith Award is an incredible honor that underscores our commitment to revolutionizing the landscape of digital storytelling,”
