Dear friends and colleagues,
Along with the rest of New York, our team has been working from home since mid-March. It has been an incredibly trying time for our community and we know first hand that the production and event industries have been hit uncommonly hard by the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak.
While we have not been able to be onsite in the studios, we are looking forward to getting back to work as soon as we are able to in the safest manner possible. In order to make sure that we are operating our studios in a safe and healthful manner for our returning clients we are making a few necessary improvements and updates.
- Additional hand washing stations are being installed in each studio.
- All sinks (kitchens and bathrooms) will be retrofit with contactless faucets.
- Increased wifi bandwidth will be available, up to 10 Gbps for remote videoconferencing needs for both events and productions.
- Daily intensive cleanings of both studios.
We know that we may not be getting back to any kind of a normal schedule anytime soon, but we are focused on serving you, our community, as best we can when given the opportunity. A massive thank you to all the essential workers on the front lines. Stay safe, stay healthy and we hope too see you back at the studio soon.
Our original premier event space, is perfect for film and photo shoots, corporate and culinary events, private parties and elegant weddings. With over 10 years of experience we can provide a perfect venue for any event you can imagine, including fashion shows, product launches and celebrity chef demonstrations. Contact us anytime to set up an appointment to see our stunning spaces.

A $350/day fee applies should renter wish to bring in any rented equipment not sourced through the studio.
A NOTE REGARDING AUDIO RECORDING
Our studios are not sound-stages and are located in a building with other tenants. Audio recording will likely pick up sound from other studios, neighboring tenants, and general surroundings. Some productions have successfully rolled sound here however since every production is different we strongly urge that you schedule a time to scout to see if our studios meet your needs. We cannot advise on nor make any claim to the suitability of the facilities for recording audio for your production. Since we sometimes are hosting multiple shoots in our facilities and there are other tenants working in the building we are unable to create special audio-recording conditions. We, nor our guests, can not disturb other teams working in our studios nor other building tenants with requests to accommodate audio-recording needs. Renter assumes all risk for productions requiring audio recording.
INSURANCE
All Studio A bookings require a valid Certificate of Insurance. If you don't carry insurance we are happy to help you obtain short-term coverage, just let us know if we can help.
