Welcome to our stunning industrial studio! Centrally located in Marin County (~18 miles north of San Francisco), it is a versatile space that is fully equipped for photography and video (except long-form audio - see “sound” below). Grip Gear: Included for use are 8 C-stands, 2 combo stands, 1 9-ft Cambo UST stand, 1 Manfrotto boom arm stand, 2 floppy flags, 8 apple boxes, 2 6x6 (ultra bounce & silk), 1 12-ft rolling scaffolding, and sandbags. Also available are 3 backdrop stands and blue, gray, and white paper backdrops. Lighting Gear (Add-On): Available at an additional cost is our Aputure lighting package that includes 1 600D, 1 Nova P300c, 2 300Ds, 2 60Ds, 2 Amaran 60Ds, and 2 Light Domes. History: We started out as a warehouse. About a decade ago, the space was converted into a photography and video studio, and has been used for this purpose ever since. Setting: We're part of a warehouse complex with other businesses in various industries. There is a large shared parking lot with reserved spots for each unit. Location: We're in a very central location, just blocks from the Highway 101 exit. Within 1-3 blocks are shops including Sprouts, Safeway, Staples, Starbucks, Subway, Best Buy, and Jackson's Hardware. San Rafael's vibrant downtown/4th Street is blocks away featuring several restaurants, shops, and entertainment options. Loading: We're on ground level, with a garage door and loading area available. Layout: The set space features polished concrete flooring, 15 ft-high ceilings, an open area of ~500 sq ft, and a conference table that seats 8 people. In the back, you'll find a common area of ~200 sq ft that includes the kitchen, dressing room, and restroom. Green Room (Add-On): Available at an additional cost is our lounge green room upstairs. Totaling ~300 sq ft, it features a couch, TV (with Apple TV), and sound system. It overlooks the set space and has curtains for privacy. Kitchen: The kitchen is equipped with a sink, fridge, coffee machine, hot water boiler for tea, dinnerware, utensils, a counter, and a high table that seats 4 people. Dressing Room: The dressing room is attached to the bathroom and includes a mirror and curtains for privacy. Temperature Control: Unfortunately, we don't have central heating. We have space heaters available and even with them on, the space still runs cold, so bring layers to stay warm. Lighting: The only windows are 2 skylights: one in the main space and another in the lounge area. Both can be closed to block natural light. Sound: The space is not soundproof. Prepare for the interference of street noise, and occasionally, industrial noise from our neighbors. Not ideal for long-form audio, but we’re happy to advise on quiet hours. We look forward to hosting you and your crew! If you have questions or need any special accommodations, feel free to reach out, and we'll do our best to help.

This place is a hidden gem! Great location, easy parking/loading, and plenty of Aputure lights and grip to work with. Will be back for future shoots.
