Explore professional film production studios in Chicago
Chicago, like London, New York, and other major cities, has the advantage of having highly recognizable urban character. You'll want your film to include the skyline at some point. Romantic and iconic, it offers immediate immersion. Naturally many production studios have windows facing it, particularly in downtown locations. Also be sure to shoot in famous spots like the Magnificent Mile or inside of the Loop. But at some point you'll need to take matters indoors. That's where the repurposed factory lofts, gardens, and dedicated video production studios come in.
Many venues you might rent for a film production in Chicago are also themed. Historical period themed bars, pop culture oriented restaurants, and other venues provide an instant way to immerse your audience in a believable setting. These venues cater to events of all kinds, including Chicago film productions.
The best places for film production: locations in the Chicago Area
Richter Studios in Highland Park is one film production location that caters to professionals. This 10,000 square foot studio includes 4 separate production stages and set design/building services on-site.
If you're looking to head outdoors for filming as your story is set in Chicago then consider working closer to downtown. Chicago Studio City near Columbus Park 105,000 square feet of stage space. Located a short drive from the city's diverse neighborhoods, you have easy access to any place in town. From here you are minutes away from dive bars, skyscraper rooftop viewing platforms, open air parks, or anywhere else the script demands.
Rent a film production location in Chicago
Studio rentals are plentiful in Chicago. Many you can rent by the hour and come with accessory lighting, screens, fiber internet, and editing suites.. Some are themed and come with props that enhance your film. Others still offer a crew of professionals to assist in video and/or photo production.
We also recommend looking at the many lofts around the Near North Side. As former factories they have original factory windows, which provide abundant natural light for a character-rich atmosphere. The exposed brick in the walls and high ceilings are ideal for a variety of narratives. You can shape your surroundings as you please using props, lighting, and the right angle. After all, Chicago's film production rentals and studios are some of the best in the nation.
