General Rules
1. Facility info and care
The studio is located in a business park, in a shared office building. It is quiet and outside noise is near non-existent. All areas should be left the way you found them, clean and ready for the next use (if the facility was not prepared for you, please contact your booking agent immediately). Please put back any items used, replace furniture or set pieces to their original location, sweep the studio floor and vacuum any carpeted areas if applicable. Empty all trash into the appropriate container. Excessive cleaning will result in a fee assessment.
2. Studio property
Studio property that is noted as ‘rentable’ may only be rented and/or used if written or verbal authorization is obtained prior to use. Double check that you have obtained permission from an authorized representative before use.
3. Conference and office rooms
The conference room can be used for your purposes. If you need help with anything, please ask.
4. Equipment and sets
If you need assistance with any equipment, please inform your agent or the studio manager. You are responsible for your use of our equipment, and we cannot be held liable for any damages or loss resulting from your use, accidental or otherwise. Any violation of the rules or other misconduct will result in the immediate revocation of facility privileges, is grounds for removal, and may constitute a forfeiture of your deposit.

Please respect our staff. If we have provided you with a grip, PA or a AV tech, do not abuse the privilege. We appreciate your patronage and will treat your business and associates with courtesy and respect. We expect the same of you and your guests. If management feels misconduct or abuse is taking place, or the tech/grip/PA informs management of such, you may be penalized, ejected and/or banned from the premises.

You are responsible for ensuring the legal age of those participating. We will have appropriate action taken immediately if we find minors consuming on premises.

Locations that already have a dedicated liquor license will require all alcohol sales/distribution to be handled by on-site staff.
