5 Reasons to Film Your Next Production at Garden Studios

Posted: 25 Sep 2024

Garden Studios was delighted to sponsor the Screen Summit on 24 September. The day was jam-packed with insightful talks from industry experts, delivering the all-important need-to-know on the state of the nation. 

 Our COO Bee Devine participated in the panel discussion “Future Production: How UK studios can work with independent producers”. Bee talked about how UK studios can help independent producers in their endeavors, especially how Garden aims to be the most supportive studio in London.  

“When it comes to choosing the right location for a film or television production, the venue is crucial,” Bee said. “A versatile studio with social and sustainable responsibility at its core can make the difference between a smooth, efficient production and a logistical nightmare.”

Our 19mx4m LED Volume stage allows producers to create immersive, photorealistic environments in real time, significantly reducing the need for on-location shoots.
