Chemical Wedding is a bunch of Brits (well, one of us is kind of Australian) who live in Los Angeles because it’s much sunnier here. We’re an odd mix of film professionals, designers and banker types with a wide experience in design, coding and technology.
Because collectively we’ve spent more time on set than is reasonable, we have a passionate belief that things there can be made better using technology. So far this has resulted a number of software titles for the production sector, including Helios, Artemis and Toland. These all lead towards our common goal to simplifying the lives of on-set and production personnel. From the kind reaction we have received, we seem to be doing something right.
Having just completed the first version of Toland, in partnership with the American Society of Cinematographers, we’re now working with a number of partners to develop a number of technology platforms in multiple industry sectors with broad, sector-wide, application. At present, the company is actively raising money for our next step.
