Premium Media Program participants receive exclusive access to a growing selection of immersive films on a regular basis, with the option to select three newly added productions by American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), expanding upon 40+ award-winning fulldome shows available

Cosm Studios is proud to announce its Premium Media Program, a flexible and affordable way for planetariums running Digistar, the world’s most advanced planetarium system, to access a growing library of fulldome content. Cosm is launching its Premium Media Program to offer a wide range of high-quality immersive content – including three AMNH productions – providing the opportunity for participants to easily tailor their yearly programming and engage with their local community in a meaningful way.

Benefits of the program include:

  • Four films provided per year, which can be rotated on an annual basis
  • Educational guides for classrooms and fieldtrips, along with marketing assets
  • Five-year term, license fee paid annually
  • Pricing based on dome size/annual attendance
  • Access to new Cosm Studios releases, exclusive content, dome tests, creator meet-and-greets, audience feedback, collaboration opportunities with Cosm Studios’ Content Committee, and more

Cosm will continue to grow its community of immersive creators and fulldome studios like AMNH and plans to expand its Premium Media Programing collaborations in the near future. As part of this initial program launch, Cosm will offer more than 40 fulldome films including three films produced by AMNH to the global network of Digistar planetariums that have joined Cosm’s Premium Media Program. Cosm will continue to focus on premium science and education films for its Premium Media Program, while also expanding the program’s offering to include family friendly and alternative fulldome content.

“We created this program to ensure that Digistar Planetariums have easy access to a variety of fulldome shows,” said Neil Carty, VP, Head of Cosm Studios and Labs. “Not only is this a tremendous value but it gives planetariums the flexibility to adjust their yearly programming, attract new visitors, and offer fresh, new content. Whether you are emphasizing school field trips or looking to present family focused shows, the Premium Media Program allows greater flexibility for you to meet your mission and grow your audience. Our team is happy to work with you to develop a content program that fits your needs.”
