Investors

The verified layer of reality for the AI era.

AI can fake anything. D.C Alacrity captures the real thing (real places, real people, measured and filmed) and makes it interactive. We’re pre-revenue, with a released title, a live platform and inbound demand, and we’re building the Experience Machine.

Why now

Three things broke at once.

D.C Alacrity sits exactly where these three breaks meet, and was born on a film set to fix them.

Trust broke

Deepfake scams are up 40% a year (Entrust 2026 Identity Fraud Report, via NAR). Realtors have a word, “housefishing,” for listings that look better online than in person, and California now requires disclosure when AI alters property images.

Capture got cheap

Headsets scan rooms for free and labs raise billions to generate worlds. Capture is becoming a commodity. What’s scarce is real people, story, verification, and a system that produces it at scale.

Film work became feast or famine

North Carolina lost an estimated fifth of its crew base after its 2014 incentive change (IATSE Local 491). The people who know best how to capture reality need steady, weekday work.

Traction

Shipped in every layer of the stack.

Pre-revenue, with a released title, a live platform and inbound demand.

Released · Meta Quest + SideQuest

Right Here Right Now!

The first live-action interactive VR film in the entire Southeast USA: a native app on the Meta Horizon Store since May 31, 2026, made with UNCW’s Film and Computer Science departments and played by our own runtime.

Pure Alacrity

Since March 2026Running real productions, free; its beta organized a commercial production at Lighthouse Films.

How it fits together

Every thread, one machine.

Free Pure builds the crews. The crews build the Experience Machine. The Experience Machine pays for free Pure. And our originals test every new tool on our own sets first. Stop any one thread and the others slow down.

  1. Pure core is freeScheduling, call sheets and logs, free forever for every student, indie and crew.Live
  2. Verified crewsEvery shoot on Pure becomes credits, templates and real schedule and cost data.Growing
  3. Alacrity Certified crewsThe best learn our capture spec and get booked for Experience Machine jobs in their own city.Next
  4. Experience Machine jobsReal estate, training, vendors and studios: weekday work that funds free Pure.Starting now

Film to reality. The same crews and software make films and places. Each new industry is a new script, not a new company.

Originals. Prize Pool VR tests every new tool on our own sets before a paying client sees it.

The model. Pixar built RenderMan. Epic built Unreal. We make the tools, use them on our own projects, and sell what they make.

Markets

One engine, aimed at several large markets.

Real estate first, then training, vendors and entertainment, all on the same pipeline. Each new market is a new script for the same crew, gear and software, not a new company.

Why we win

Others own one piece. AI labs generate places that don’t exist; headset scans have no people in them; scan firms sell static models; immersive agencies rebuild every job. We own the shoot, the player and the data, so every job runs on our engine and leaves recurring software behind.

Their progress is our supply chain

Better world models, faster restyling and free capture are inputs we can buy. Every improvement the big labs ship makes an Experience Machine cheaper for us to build.

Where it goes

From one engine to the Experience Machine.

Each step builds on the one before it, and we move as fast as each one proves out. The pieces already exist; now we’re joining them up.

  1. Now

    Full-Stack + Pure

    Full-Stack shoots for brokers and developers, Pure live and free, and the first Experience Machine build underway.

  2. Next

    Reach

    The Experience Machine on Meta and phones, Prize Pool VR on the full pipeline, Alacrity Pass, and certified crews in new cities.

  3. Then

    Network

    A marketplace for certified crews, gear and locations, payroll, new doors in art, decor and commerce, and Alacrity Lab with UNCW.

  4. Ultimately

    Rails + risk

    Production money flows through Pure. Risk data for financiers, guarantors and insurers, so film stops being a gamble.

Impact · Wilmington & North Carolina

Film as a 9-to-5. Steady, weekday, local work for the crews who know how to capture reality.

Wilmington built a world-class crew base over 40 years, and it rises and falls with whichever production is in town. Experience Machine work happens every weekday: one-day captures scheduled in Pure, home for dinner. Students graduate with verified credits and a reason to stay.

What changes
Measurable = fundablePure turns productions into data lenders and insurers can price. Crews get steady pay.

“Film crews have always known how to capture reality. We’re giving them the system to do it every day, for every industry, in an age that badly needs reality it can trust.”

The team

Film and computer science, side by side.

Founder and CEO D.C Agwu built Pure Alacrity and led Right Here Right Now! to the Meta store. CTO Kian Miley built its VR mechanics and leads Alacrity Player. Around them: a producer, a director, a post supervisor and a licensed drone and LiDAR lead, all of whom have already shipped together.
