About Us

We are Entering a New Era

Who

Altera is a creative innovation ecosystem where filmmakers, technologists and companies explore emerging tools and build the future of storytelling.

  • For creators, it’s a launchpad.
  • For companies, it’s a place to test new ideas.
  • For institutions, it’s a bridge to the next generation of talent.

Why

The pace of creative technology changed faster than the old system could keep up.

Creators were left to figure it out alone. Companies had no place to experiment. Students had no path forward.

Altera exists to solve that.

A place to learn, experiment and move into the future with clarity and community.

What

We help creators and companies understand, test and use emerging tools through programs built for real work.

Every part of Altera is designed to help people build what comes next.
