The Production space was very spacious which allowed our crew to perform as needed. Although the environment around the production space is seen as unsafe, Alan was very responsible in terms of security and his team was responsive/helpful when we wanted to communicate.

This space is a perfect place to have a nice small get together. Eli is an awesome host he made sure I was take care of as well my guest who came to attend. I would definitely book this space again and tell all my friends about it. The price was very reasonable too. There was nothing I would do differently everything went well with no problems. Thank you Eli

This studio space had a lot more to offer than what we expected. In our case we were there for a video shoot and originally we just needed a space to set up a backdrop and shoot in front of. But once we toured the studio, we realized there were so many different ideas that we can come up with on the spot. It was the perfect place to improvise while also getting done what we originally had in mind. Would definitely recommend.

Great studio location with awesome looks outside! Location was a bit sketchy outside of the closed gate BUT, crew felt safe inside the gated location! Would forsure shoot here again!
