WHY A CLEANING FEE?

The cleaning fee covers the cost of standard cleaning to ensure the studio remains in top shape after each rental. This includes tidying up, sanitizing surfaces, and taking care of any accidental spills or messes that might happen during a shoot. It also helps to maintain the overall look and feel of the studio, which can be important for creating the right atmosphere on set. In addition, the fee is used to cover general maintenance of the studio facilities, like making sure the lights, equipment, and utilities are functioning properly. This guarantees that everything will be in working order for the next production that comes in. By having a standard cleaning fee, we can make sure the space is consistently clean and well-maintained for everyone to enjoy. Plus, it helps you focus on your creative project without worrying about leaving the studio spick and span. It's a win-win for everyone! 😄

WHY A SITE-REP FEE?

A site rep is an on-site representative of our studio, and their presence helps ensure that everything runs smoothly during the rental period. Site reps have knowledge of the studio facility and are able to provide answers to any questions that may arise during the rental. They can also help troubleshoot any issues that might pop up, which can save time and keep the production on schedule. The site rep's presence helps protect the film studio's assets, as they can monitor the use of the facilities and ensure that the space is being used appropriately. This reduces the risk of damage or misuse, which benefits both the studio and the production renting the space. Site reps help to coordinate any necessary arrangements or adjustments throughout the rental. This can include things like questions about access to specific areas, assisting with logistics, and providing information about the studio's policies and procedures. The site rep is responsible for ensuring that safety protocols are followed within the studio. They can address any safety concerns and make sure that everyone is adhering to the rules, which is crucial for maintaining a secure and efficient working environment. The site-rep fee covers the cost of having a knowledgeable, professional representative on-site to help the production run smoothly, protect the studio's assets, and ensure safety. It's a small investment that can make a big difference in the success of a film project.
