About

Welcome to Brooklyn Optics, our historic four-story building in Williamsburg, a 1920s industrial space that blends rich history with modern production possibilities. Perfect for projects with abandoned, haunted, or vacant settings, our complex also provides an acoustically controlled environment ideal for audio recordings and interviews, thanks to its solid brick and concrete construction. Our authentic location has drawn major productions, including those by BBC, FOX News, and Cosmopolitan. Previously home to a thriving woodworking and production company, the space still operates a multi-material workshop. Our collection of unique vintage props, along with access to vintage materials, adds character to any display or set design. Today, the workshop serves as a community resource, where I volunteer to teach woodworking, craft skills, and hand tool techniques. Our space even extends to three rooftop gardens, where I share gardening skills and hands-on creations.

Zoe was an amazing host! She went above and beyond to accommodate our production, and the location was absolutely perfect for our military scene. Everything went smoothly, and her communication was clear and timely. We would definitely book again. Highly recommend!

This space is absolutely phenomenal and you can get so many different looks here. We filmed here for a tv series and the space was perfect. There are so many cool elements to this space. There are multiple floors with different looks that you can rent out. It is very quiet in hear and you don't hear the outside city noise or the planes above. Andre is an exceptional host and went above and beyond. I would definitely recommend filming here. We liked it so much we even rented another room in his space a week later!
