“Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.” —Steve Jobs

Owning a studio in the middle of a pandemic is nothing short of an adventure, says owner Maxwell Morro. With constant changes in regulations and curfews, it's important to focus on the larger picture at hand—how we can still create.

Per fashion, we're challenging other businesses in our community to post about their happenings amidst a time such as this. Let's stand strong as a community and promote the creation of projects like never before.

We tend to create things at that are beyond imaginable. This was one of those days.

“To be a filmmaker, you have to lead. You have to be psychotic in your desire to do something. People always like the easy route. You have to push very hard to get something unusual, something different.” —

When we decided to go full force and open amidst a pandemic, we emulated this very quote, defining a time of the perceived end of filmmaking. But, throughout the past few months, we have done everything possible to allow filmmakers, artists, and visionaries into our space, safely and effectively. This meant getting the proper permits, talking to government officials, and outreaching to our community to let them know that we are still open and very much willing to work together.

If you have an upcoming project and you need a space like ours to accomplish it, email us at [email protected].

And don’t be shy, the owner, Maxwell (in photo), is a pretty cool guy! 😊

This medium-format film shot was taken by a creator who came into the space earlier this month, looking to experiment with the more avant-garde offerings of our space.

We're so thankful to have creators like this stop by, as it gives us so many more ideas for how clients can use the space.

Here's your daily reminder that filmmakers are capable of turning 'impossible' into 'possible'. Over the course of the past 100 years, we've seen filmmaking go from rolls of film to being able to record for hours through the palm of your hand. Nonetheless, we're happy that we can play a part in making history.

"There are no rules in filmmaking. Only sins. And the cardinal sin is dullness." —Frank Capra

Similar to Frank, dullness is not in our vocabulary.

Our goal has always been the same: We give you the space to create, and you utilize it to make amazing things happen.

It was a pleasure to welcome Michelle Medoff into this past weekend. Her unique and captivating voice through her own original music and popular covers are what drives her to keep creating, and that's what we love to hear.

Another team hard at work, one step closer to achieving their creative dreams. Shoutout to the team for stopping by the studio this weekend for some quick social shots!

Over the past 48 hours, we've been letting smaller creators into our massive space in the efforts to help us promote + give back to our lovely LA creative community.

The amount of creativity we've seen in the past two days is absolutely unreal and we cannot wait to debut it all.
