Sam Baumel

Sam Baumel is a creative producer, immersive filmmaker and educator exploring new forms of cinematic storytelling. His projects span documentary, journalism and commercial production, including collaborations with brands, nonprofit institutions and movement artists.

Sam is co-founder of Primary: News in Depth, a spatial journalism platform recognized with an Apple Design Award for Social Impact, and teaches emerging technologies for filmmakers at NYU Tisch School of the Arts.

Andrii Shramko

Andrii Shramko is an inventor and spatial-video engineer who builds the cameras that don't exist yet. For over a decade he has designed custom camera rigs, stabilisation systems and capture pipelines for shots the market has no equipment for - a stereoscopic 360 camera that survives hitting water from a cliff-diving platform, a 14-camera drone flying at 250 km/h beside wingsuit pilots, macro 3D with five millimeters between the lenses, and camera housings that are shooting inside tornadoes right now.

His rigs and pipelines have been used on productions for Red Bull, Meta, National Geographic and Mastercard. Today he works in 3D and 4D Gaussian Splatting, and publishes a free library of production-grade 3DGS scans now used by NVIDIA, World Labs and a number of research teams.

Dane Christensen

Dane Christensen is a Danish-American documentary filmmaker fascinated by how stories are told — and how they're inhabited. Since earning his MFA in Documentary Film from Stanford, his path has led from cinéma vérité, where the camera earns its proximity, into immersive work that places you inside the story: not as a viewer, but as a presence.

Dane spearheads Dansker Digital Studio, creating storyliving experiences around the globe, from Icelandic folklore activations in AR to dreamlike VR films in the highlands of Mexico, and teaches the craft in workshops internationally.

Roz McNulty

Roz McNulty is an immersive filmmaker, Apple Vision Pro developer, and fashion technology expert exploring how spatial media is changing the way we experience fashion and performance.

With more than 30 years working across fashion design and technology, Roz is the founder and Creative Director of Fashion Innovation Centre, where she brings together fashion, filmmaking and immersive storytelling.

Her recent work focuses on creating immersive experiences for Apple Vision Pro. She produced the immersive film Pieces of Tomorrow, capturing contemporary ballet with the Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive camera and exploring how spatial film can bring an audience closer to dance, movement and costume.

Her work also includes immersive fashion experiences and virtual apparel showrooms. Roz is interested in using immersive film to bring audiences closer to the movement, scale and presence of fashion, dance and culture.

Matt Fisher

Matt Fisher, CEO of Spatial Sense LLC, has been developing for the Vision Pro since day one. As part of the stepinto.Vision group, a community of visionOS developers, Fisher has been able to tap into the best minds developing for the platform over the last two years.

Also an avid video producer for over 20 years, Fisher spotted some of the immersive filming basics needed for a great experience. This is what inspired URSee, a system for live preview and monitoring of the URSA Cine Immersive, either directly from the camera or by using Blackmagic’s other systems, such as DeckLink. URSee spans across all platforms, from Vision Pro to Apple TV. Fisher’s ethos these days is, “We have the hardware now, it’s up to us to make the tools”.

His career began with an acoustic guitar, songwriting and an old Portastudio. A growing fascination with recording techniques, microphone arrays and audio software led him to study music production. A chance gig as a boom operator then sparked a new passion for film sound. After graduating from Norwegian Audio Academy (NISS), Ruben founded his own company, working as a production sound mixer, dialogue editor and sound designer. His work spanned reality television, documentaries, commercials, TV dramas and feature films. His credits include Night Ride, nominated for Best Live Action Short Film at the 2023 Academy Awards.

In 2021, he joined Nomono in quality assurance, drawn by the potential of its audio technology. Today, he helps shape the company's next generation of tools for immersive audio and video production. His work combines hands-on production experience with a longstanding fascination for spatial audio. Alongside his audio work, Ruben also explores 360° video production.
