Faster Than Light is a founder-led creative technology studio built to turn ambitious ideas into experiences, stories and systems that were previously difficult—or impossible—to create.
Matteo Walter and Maximilian Dauner come from two disciplines that rarely share the same production environment: cinematic filmmaking and advanced AI research.
Across commercial production, university systems, interactive experiences and scientific work, the same barrier became visible. FTL brings creative direction and technical engineering into one studio to remove that barrier—without removing the human point of view.
Technology serves a creative point of view.
Every frame, interaction and transition is intentionally authored.
Systems must function beyond a controlled demo.
Projects leave behind knowledge, infrastructure and workflows that can keep creating value.
Ambition is balanced with context, safety, privacy, transparency and trust.
Profiles are intentionally presented without placeholder or generated portraits.
