Explore film production venues in Washington DC

If you're looking to shoot a film in Washington, D.C., consider booking a video studio designed for filmmaking. These include loft studios, which can be reserved by the hour or day. A loft is an endlessly flexible space. By adding studio backdrops, light stands, props, and cameras, you have an instant studio. If the loft is built specifically for video production, it should include soundproofing to screen out unwanted audio. You'll have power ports in accessible places as well. Lofts range in size from intimate, with room for a handful of people, to hundreds of square feet in size for mid-scale productions. You can also choose a larger space for a film shoot. Video production companies in Washington, D.C. have sets that can be thousands of square feet in size. These are typically rented for movies, commercials, music videos, and other productions. Larger film production venues also have useful amenities like nearby bathrooms, staff lounges, kitchens, loading bays for large equipment, and free parking.

Unique film shoot spots in Washington DC

One good way to elevate your film in the minds of viewers is to choose a unique location. Washington, D.C. is an older city so you'll find venues here with historic interiors, chic modern flair, industrial gritty character, and much more. Rooftop venues are popular for modern dance films and elegant hotel ballrooms can be reserved for film productions of any type. Many downtown DC filming locations offer views of iconic monuments from rooftops or windows facing in the right direction. Renting a venue with these visual clues is a simple way to instantly place your film as set in DC without being too overt! Popular restaurants, clubs, bars, and other entertainment venues may have film-friendly policies as well. Businesses that allow filmmakers to shoot in their space gives you everything from authentic props to a flexible space with a single booking.
