Ample space for base-camp and parking, a rarity for a downtown LA filming location
The location is completely fenced in and has ample space for base camp and parking, which is rare to find in downtown Los Angeles. We have successfully worked with all types of projects, from big to small.

We pride ourselves on working with the industry to help keep production in Los Angeles.
