LA\u2019s entertainment industry is about to get a boost thanks to the opening of a new film and TV studio campus in Woodland Hills.<\/p>\n
On Monday, Cinespace Studios debuted Cinespace Los Angeles<\/a>, its 10-acre campus located at 21200 Victory Blvd.<\/p>\n The 180,000-square-foot campus is home to six 18,000-square-foot soundstages, designed to help boost local production of movies and episodic television. According to the City of Los Angeles, there is already an active production underway at the facility.<\/p>\n Mayor Karen Bass \u2014 who has taken steps in an effort to support LA\u2019s entertainment industry \u2014 helped cut the ribbon on Cinespace Los Angeles on Monday.<\/p>\n The mayor said the opening of the campus proves that \u201cLA is the creative capital of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSeeing new soundstages open with a production already underway speaks to the collective strength of our signature industry,\u201d Bass said in a press release. \u201cThese investments create good-paying jobs, expand creative outlets, and spur new economic opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n This is Cinespace\u2019s first-ever campus in LA; the company runs campuses in Chicago, Atlanta, Toronto, and Wilmington, North Carolina, plus the 21-stage Studio Babelsberg in Potsdam, Germany.<\/p>\n Cinespace Studios co-CEO Eoin Egan said opening a campus in Los Angeles was always part of the company\u2019s long-term vision.<\/p>\n \u201cLos Angeles is where this industry was built, and where its future continues to be shaped,\u201d Egan said. \u201cWhile the market is navigating a period of transition, we believe deeply in the resilience of this city, the talent that defines it, and the enduring demand for world-class production infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n LA City Councilmember Bob Blumenfield said filming and production is part of the fabric of the West San Fernando Valley, and a fitting place for \u201cthis next chapter of Hollywood history.\u201d<\/p>\n Blumenfield said the debut of Cinespace Los Angeles is an important investment in the community, and a step toward keeping entertainment jobs in LA.<\/p>\n Bass is currently implementing her Executive Directive<\/a> designed to bolster film and TV production in LA and streamline city processes surrounding production.<\/p>\n Following the passage of California Gov. Gavin Newsom\u2019s expanded Film & TV Tax Credit Program<\/a>, Bass welcomed productions back to LA, including the \u201cBaywatch\u201d reboot.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe newly unveiled complex spans 255,000 square feet and features five soundstages designed to accommodate everything from high-end television to major feature films.
