before they apply.

What's included in every tier?
Full studio — lighting, audio, 12ft seamless, green screen, monitoring, Fulcrum Acoustics — plus Carlos as dedicated technical operator at every session. Nothing extra to rent.
Do hours roll over?
No. The value is the reservation of capacity — your slot is held for you regardless of usage. Unused hours don't accumulate.
Can I add the Sony FX6?
Yes. FX6 + operator is available at a reduced add-on rate for Operator and Principal partners.
What happens when all 10 spots are taken?
The program closes. No waitlist. When a partner exits, openings go to the email list first.
