Free onsite parking, Free street parking

There are usually 5-7 open spaces in the parking lot and ample free street parking.

Ground Floor

Crew Access—Ground Floor Equipment Loading—You can back up to the front door for an easy load in. If a car is parked in the spot, it is probably a neighbor from either side of me, so it should be easy to get it moved. You can shoot anywhere on the first floor.

Upstairs is off limits, unless prior permission has been granted.

Dozens of outlets (household and commercial voltages) supply reliable and consistent power throughout the studio. There are 3 panels, 2 in the back (A and B) and 1 upstairs (C). Everything is labeled. Outlets are labeled so it should be easy to find the needed breaker. The labels denote the panel-breaker-amps (ie. B-9—20A). Electric recovery fees may apply for hot lights and AC, extra electrical appliances, and other high power drawing items.
