Secret Santa Monica Loft, Just off Lincoln
many different options, textures, and architecture to choose from for your shoot. We had a blast going all over and finding different places to film. Truly a unique space. Max was there early to let us in and present at all times to make sure everything was going smooth...

Secret Santa Monica Loft, Just off Lincoln
to work with and kind. They quickly accommodated us when we asked to adjust our start time & even checked in when we had a filming hiccup during our shoot (our fault). The location is under construction and ended up being exactly the industrial look we needed. 10/10...

Westside Black Box Space
ve ever dealt with through Peerspace. Not only was he extremely responsive, but he always had suggestions and advice.

Santa Monica Photo/Video Studio
Our team filmed a corporate video in the studio and this space fit the aesthetic we were looking for perfectly. The host was also easy to work with. The only thing I'd be weary of for others shooting video is that there will be some noise interruptions from the...

Rachel N.
Secret Santa Monica Loft, Just off Lincoln
Max was incredibly communicative and helpful. The space worked perfectly for our short film shoot. I’d recommend some good sound proofing in your plan (which Max was super upfront about) but other than that, it’s a huge space that offers lots of great looks and ample parking...
