The Room

What You’re Actually Renting

The Architecture

873 Broadway, Suite 408. A real Flatiron production loft — not a converted office, not a white box with a CYC. 13-foot ceilings, original hardwood floors, exposed brick, cast-iron columns, 9-foot windows pulling real Broadway daylight across the full shooting floor. The room photographs as a real space because it is one.

The Gear

Full professional LED rig. Sony FX6 full-frame cinema camera for video and stills. Soundcraft UI24R 24-track digital mixer for audio. Dual 4K projectors, 75” touchscreen. Multiple setups in a single session without resetting the room between looks.

The Operator

Carlos Montoya has been running production in this room since 1994. He is on-site for every session — not a studio manager, not a day-of coordinator. The person who designed the rig is the person running it for your shoot. That’s the difference.
