Narwhal Studios is a leading virtual production and visualization studio, founded by Felix Jorge, Safari Sosebee, and Andrew MacLusky—close friends with a shared passion for storytelling and innovation. Originally known as Happy Mushroom, Narwhal’s roots are embedded in storytelling, design, and development. Leveraging real-time processes, we specialize in helping to craft, conceptualize, and resolve narrative challenges across film, TV, games, and interactive experiences.
Since our inception in 2018, we've expanded our reach with local offices in Los Angeles, Eugene Oregon, and Austin Texas. United by backgrounds in previs, VFX, and game engineering, our team is dedicated to transforming the storytelling process, fostering a studio culture where creativity thrives alongside technology as we empower the ideas of storytellers, turning concepts into tangible content.
Felix, alongside filmmakers, pioneered a commitment to innovate Visualization and Virtual Production, shaping the future of art creation at Narwhal Studios while striving to make Virtual Production advanced and accessible.
With a decade of expertise in digital lighting, sculpting, and art direction, Safari excels in bringing visions to life, particularly on projects like "The Mandalorian" and "Ahsoka," where he liaises directly with filmmakers, making him a pivotal asset to Narwhal Studios.
For over 15 years, Andrew has built entertainment software and platforms that define how modern media is designed. A pioneer in AR and VR, Andrew has been instrumental in bringing immersive entertainment to the mass market including the release of over 30 video games and aiding the launch of Oculus Quest during his time at Facebook. As CTO of Narwhal, he has architected a next-generation platform of tools that bring real-time 3D into all stages of the filmmaking process.
Our body of work highlights significant contributions to the "Lucasfilm Universe," encompassing 5 Disney+ series across 7 seasons such as "Ahsoka" and "Obi-Wan Kenobi." We've also collaborated on notable projects such as Netflix’s “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” and Marvel's "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.” Additionally, our participation in immersive experiences, like the "Sphere" in Las Vegas, showcases our diverse capabilities. Recognized with an Emmy for our art direction work on "The Mandalorian" and awarded three Unreal Engine mega-grants, we strive for excellence in everything we do.
