We captured such great footage the first time we needed to come back again! Thanks again Max for a wonderful shoot!

Perfect facility for a small video shoot & photo session. The location is in a quite area but close enough to retail areas content creators can restock most supplies they've run out of or forgotten.

This is a nice little inexpensive space for a short single subject shoot. There are some limitations to consider. Power is limited to around 2kw total - fortunately the power consumption of the 2 KinoFlo Divas and 2 LED panels provided is under 10 amps. There is no restroom access - a consideration for PWD shoots. It has an earthy smell (ventilation is closed off by the soundproofing) There is no real ladder, just a short stepstool.

My first rental on Giggster and everything went according to plan! I was able to great some great photos at Gage's place :) Backdrops are easy to use, there are reflectors, stands...and bonus points for the speaker :)

We used Sarah’s home for the filming of interviews for a network show. She was incredibly responsive and flexible with some last minute changes. The house is in a central location (nearby food, Apple store, FedEx, Target, etc.), so if any needs come up during filming it’s easy to problem solve. The house was quiet, clean, and we had access to plenty of parking. I’d be happy to book again and strongly recommend this location.

Had a fantastic experience shooting in the bookshop. Max accommodated all of our needs and was very professional. It's an amazing space-- the photos on Giggster don't even do it justice. We were thrilled with what we saw and even happier when we got there. I'm even leaving 5 stars for parking because we unexpectedly lucked out and nabbed a meter right in front for our production vehicle. We weren't shooting with sound but I don't expect there would have been any issues if a production needed to do so. Five stars for the space and the staff all around. Would love to shoot here again.
