A Two Floor Set & Stage for NETFLIX
The riggers, the set decorators, the unsung heroes.
Shots above from one of five prep days of a new Netflix feature shot at ODR, capturing a small glimpse of the teams we don’t see on screen & celebrating all those who set the stage for the movie to be made.
Production moved in for two weeks, using our 1st Floor for construction and set decoration, and our 2nd Floor for filming. Looking forward to seeing this one hit our screens soon!
A Culinary Experience with Ayuni Chef
Celebrating a beautiful day as friends of the studio tie the knot at ODR.
Our creative production team worked closely with the couple to bring their vision to life, coordinating a dining experience with Ayuni Chef, known for intimate, interactive meals inspired by mediterranean cooking and fresh, seasonal ingredients.
The space was finished with a custom candle wall and DJ setup framed by a carpet backdrop.
City of the Sun Live Music Teasers
Un Disparo al Corazón” & “London” - two new live performances from City of the Sun.
It’s been a pleasure to observe the energy and intention COTS have put toward their recent push of visuals and to see a handful of them filmed so beautifully across both floors of the studio is a cool moment for us. What a sound these guys have!
Bespoke Post Fall/Winter ‘25
Frequent collaborators Bespoke Post along with photographer Oliver Jevremov took to our 2nd Floor to shoot their end of year knitwear and outerwear campaign, making use of textured walls, layered props and studio vehicles to build out different backdrops & scenes throughout the day.
Always a pleasure to see the different sets this creative team puts together.

Steven Spielberg Takes Over The Studio
We’ve stayed quiet about our biggest shoot of the year so far, but now that it’s wrapped we can finally share that Steven Spielberg and crew spent three weeks filming at the studio back in February for his upcoming 2026 sci-fi feature with current working title “Non-View” starring Emily Blunt, Colman Domingo, Colin Firth and a few other big Hollywood names.
It’s an exciting time to be in the New Jersey film scene right now and we’re looking forward to continuing doing our small part to help keep the momentum building for the state.
Workshop-Inspired Sets for Bespoke Post
Our 2nd Floor’s versatility was on full display again as we welcomed back Bespoke Post & team as they transformed different sections of the loft into a workshop & garage inspired backdrops for their multi-day menswear fashion shoot.
Since they were going for rugged lifestyle scenes, they also threw in our vintage Ford F150 for good measure.
36 Angles for History Channel Documentary
Arrow Point Media team, an English production company, stopped in for two weeks of interviews for their upcoming History Channel documentary.
We’re proud to say that over the course of the twelve day shoot they captured 36 unique backdrops, each offering a different look behind the interviewees - again an example of our 2nd Floors’ versatile nature.
Updated Photos of our 2nd Floor Loft
With a few new bits of furniture and artwork having been added to the studio over the past year, it felt like a good time for some updated photos of our 2nd Floor. Please have a look, let us know what you think and share them around!
Culture & Soul - A Night of Music & Poetry
We hosted Culture and Soul Productions as they celebrated their one-year anniversary of Words Unleashed.
Live music, poetry and spoken word performances alongside great food and drink from local vendors - it’s always rewarding to see the community come together for an event like this.
Congratulations to their team, we’re excited to welcome you back again sometime soon.
