Central Pasadena's Premier Production Campus

Pasadena Studios is the premier production destination in the heart of Old Town Pasadena with one of the area's largest collections of event spaces, stages, built sets, and basecamps all under one roof. Step outside and you're in the middle of it all: walking distance to parks, cafes, and the neighborhood's local charm.

Book a single stage or event space for the day, or take over the full campus for a multi-week shoot inside one of Pasadena's oldest and most distinctive studio properties.

Studio 1 is a white-cyc stage with a fully customizable lighting grid, built for professional photography and film production.

Just across the hall, talent has a comfortable lounge to relax between setups, along with a fully equipped kitchen and two modern restrooms, all just steps from the stage. A second lounge can be configured as a production office or another space for talent holding.
