I am excited to share a major milestone in Prince George’s County’s growth as a media and entertainment hub.

Revolutionary VP Studios is investing here to open a state‑of‑the‑art, 38,000 square foot production facility right here in Laurel.

This space will reshape how film, television, podcasts, and digital content are created on the East Coast. It will feature a 156 foot by 26 foot LED volumetric wall, immersive real‑time environments, advanced production technology, and a one‑of‑a‑kind event venue for high‑end gatherings.

This investment means jobs, innovation, and new opportunities for our residents. It strengthens our creative economy and builds on the momentum we are seeing across the county, including transformative projects like the Sphere at National Harbor.

Prince George’s County is rising. We are attracting world‑class partners, expanding opportunity, and shaping a more innovative future for our community.
