208 Creative Studios
68 35th St, 3rd Floor Bldg. 4, Studio C368, Brooklyn, New York 11232
Our spacious 1,000-square-foot studio, with 13-foot ceilings, is perfect for a wide range of photo and video projects.
Our studio rental space aims to create modular film sets that grant filmmakers access to inconvenient and uncommon locations that would otherwise be significantly challenging or expensive to film in.
208, once the apartment number of students attending the Art Institute of California, served as a hub of creativity and collaboration, helping anyone who walked through the doors. A fond memory and experience Gerry Kodo Jr. held on to, inspiring the name of 208 Creative Studios. Zanin Lindsay, a NYC native who has built his career on similar principles of collaboration and community, found a like-minded partner in Gerry. Their shared passion for anime, video games, and storytelling led to their partnership and, finally, the joint venture in establishing an official base to further their craft.

CUSTOM SETS
Our core mission here at 208 Creative Studios is to build custom, collapsible, and interchangeable sets that aren’t typical or are hard to film. Whether the project is a serious drama, experimental sci-fi, visually titillating music video, or high-fashion editorial, we’ll have something you can’t find anywhere else.
The first set we are building is an elevator set with removable walls, allowing for limitless shot choices inside and out of the elevator. You will be able to choose from a variety of looks, including modern, retro, and possibly industrial.
Due to the level of customization each set will have, our studio’s layout will change on a revolving basis.
If you have a specific vision for your project and would like changes to the space, please feel free to contact us. We’re happy to assist!
