"The new DGA theater pushes the theatrical experience to an entirely new level, melding art and innovation," said Doug Darrow, SVP, Cinema Business Group, Dolby Laboratories. "For Dolby, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience working with the Guild's top filmmakers in the conceptualization and installation of the best we have to offer. We're thrilled with the finished product, and are excited to share the Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos experience with the DGA." "By collaborating with top filmmakers throughout the design and implementation processes, we were able to see every aspect through their eyes, from the design, innovations and custom solutions to addressing all issues together," said Lee Pasteris, Design Director and Principal at Gensler. "The result speaks for itself: it's a theater that's designed to serve and represent directors for generations to come."
