Uncharted Territory Inc. is a film production company based in Los Angeles, California. Uncharted Territory was founded in 1999 by Academy award winning visual effects supervisor Volker Engel and Emmy award winning VFX supervisor and producer Marc Weigert. Engel and Weigert usually serve as producers or coproducers and visual effects supervisors on UT"s projects.

With their first production, the adventure movie "Coronado" in 2001, Uncharted Territory started a new paradigm for handling visual effects: Instead of contracting out to other established VFX houses, Uncharted Territory would build up a VFX crew from scratch by selecting freelance artists, managers and programmers and creating the necessary infrastructure (hardware and software), custom tailored to a single project only. For "2012", Uncharted Territory built up an inhouse unit of about 100 and managed all visual effect shots coming from more than a dozen other vendors.
