About our studio

In an effort to protect our employees, talent and crew from the spread of the COVID-19 virus, we have established—and continue to monitor and update—new policies and practices that provide a safe working environment for all of our productions. 

LOFT 2 is the most open of our 2300 sq. ft. full floor lofts and is designed for Film and Photography. 11' ceilings.  The gray wood floors, with the painted white ceiling beams and white brick walls give it a unique look and feel. It is 95' from the front south facing windows in the front to the windows in the back. You can easily do 2 sets at either end.

The beautiful building that the loft is in was built in 1910. It was originally a carriage house for horses. The building's enormous 10'x20' freight elevator used to take the horses up and down through the floors. The 10' elevator doors open up directly into the loft.

The loft is located on the edge of Hudson Yards and Hell's Kitchen. It is easily accessible to public transportation with the 7 train and the 8th Ave 34th st station are each only .2 miles away...about a 6-8 minute walk. There are parking garages all around the building, so parking is always easy to find.

Unlike many other studios, the bulk of your equipment and grip needs are included in the studio rental price. For a nominal fee, you'll have access to a huge array of lights, modifiers, and grip. The goal is for you to just bring your camera, focus on your creative, and not have to deal with lugging hundreds of pounds of gear around. There is also a 10' x 20' Freight Elevator for all of your crew and clients to use. As some have said, it's the size of a small Manhattan apartment. :)

We are open to collaborating on production budgets and your needs for one or multiple shoot spaces, especially in the new normal of Coronavirus and Safety Protocols.
