Company profile
researched Aug 2026Trioscope, Inc. is an entertainment technology and content company built around the Trioscope Stylized Entertainment Engine (SEE), a patented technology that combines live-action performances with computer-generated environments to produce stylized, graphic-novel-style animated drama. The company positions the output as animation aimed at adult audiences, allowing filmmakers to direct actors conventionally while placing those performances into graphically rendered worlds.
The business has two main arms. Trioscope licenses the SEE technology to professional creatives, and Trioscope Studios develops and produces television series and films with outside producers, writers and directors. Its debut series, the four-part World War II miniseries "The Liberator," based on the Thunderbirds battalion, premiered on Netflix in 2020. Subsequent projects include "Night of the Cooters," a short film produced by George R.R. Martin and directed by Vincent D'Onofrio; "Takeover," featuring Quavo and Billy Zane; and "Mary Margaret Road Grader," a further collaboration with Martin.
