Manhattan Mural Loft Photo/Video/ Studio

Come shoot at our woman-owned-and-operated, 855 square foot studio in the heart of Manhattan. We have a 9-foot seamless paper wall mount system, let us know what color you need. We have sheer curtains for natural light, or blackout curtains. Our furniture can make our space into a bedroom or living room. We have a whimsical mural painted on one of our walls, but this can be easily covered with seamless paper. You can use this space as a podcast studio (podcast recording equipment available as an add-on). You have access to our prop and set decoration collection with wall art, books, rugs, plants, and tchotchkes. Even our Hollywood vanity-equipped hair and makeup table is shoot-able. I created this space because as a commercial director/producer and DP, I found it difficult to find affordable studios that looked like a "home." I found renting people’s **actual homes** was chaotic. So I came up with a solution in this space. It’s designed for influencers, agencies and indie filmmakers. Our studio is steps away from the Port Authority bus terminal, four blocks from Penn Station, near Times Square and easily accessible via Grand Central. We’re near almost every train line in the city. Retail stores like Target and H&M are a 10 minute walk. Great catering options are nearby for lunch and several independent coffee shops are on our block. Check out our list of add-ons to get the most out of our one-of-a-kind studio. We have Sony still and cinema cameras, strobe and continuous lighting, audio gear. We work with LVR Rentals across the street, so if you need any rentals beyond what we have in-house, we can rent it for you and at a 20% discount. If you choose to rent gear through us, we can load your gear in the day before your shoot for you. Your rental includes these regular studio things: Verizon Fios Wifi X4 c-stands with arms x3 light stands X8 sandbags x1 seamless paper pull (tell us the color you need) X1 makeup and hair styling area with mirror and vanity lights, 2 stools X1 handheld steamer x4 A-clamps x6 Plastic small clamps - a Google Home speaker, you can connect to Spotify - Access to freight elevator (opens at 7am and closes at 6pm) - Mini-fridge in studio - Microwave access in our agency offices one floor up - Choice of blackout or sheer white curtains - two of our four walls are large windows. We get significant natural light on sunny days until about an hour before sunset. Your rental also includes these “lifestyle” studio things: -Our studio has one white wall and one wall with a whimsical mural. -A plethora of fake plants, from large to small -All furniture in the studio comes with the studio - no additional charges -Access to our set decoration kit - items like textiles, sculptures, vases -A bedroom set with natural wood bed frame, mattress, white bedding, four pillows, sheets, an end table, and art. Looks very “Urban Outfitters” with our sheer curtains. Some other important notes: Audio recording - We’re on the 15th floor and face the side of the building and deal with typical midtown NYC sirens, honks, etc. While we personally shoot our own productions and record audio in this space, it is NOT SOUNDPROOF and we can make no guarantees about the sound quality. This studio does not have a private bathroom. A key is used to enter the men and women's bathrooms in the hall. These are shared by the other offices on the floor. Please be respectful of our neighbors. No confetti or fog machines.
