Film & Movie Production in Los Angeles
Build an independent feature, short film, pilot, episodic project or vertical series around one production ecosystem: stages, cinema cameras, lenses, lighting, grip, movement, monitoring, production support, recording and post under one roof in North Hollywood.
Features, shorts, pilots, series and vertical drama.
MVA is not limited to music videos and branded content. The same stages, camera department, lighting, grip, movement, monitoring, audio and production infrastructure can be configured around narrative motion-picture work. Bring a complete crew and rent what you need, or send the project scope and identify where you want MVA to support the production.
Independent Features
Stage, cinema-camera, lens, lighting, grip, monitoring and production support for feature-length narrative work.
Short Films
Flexible packages for proof-of-concept films, festival shorts, thesis films and focused narrative productions.
Pilots + Episodic
Repeatable studio and technical workflows for pilots, scripted series, pickups and recurring episodic production.
Vertical Series
High-volume vertical narrative production with repeatable camera, lighting, stage and delivery workflows for mobile-first drama.
Build the movie around the shot—not around five separate vendors.
Stages + Cycs
Main White Cyc, Front Room + Front Cyc, Upstairs Cyc and support spaces for controlled narrative setups, inserts, VFX plates and promotional units.
Cinema Cameras + Lenses
ARRI ALEXA Mini LF, RED Helium, RED Komodo and Sony FX3 package paths with lens, media, power and support planning.
Lighting + Grip
Aputure, ARRI, Astera, grip, frames, rigging and a 21-point motorized overhead hoist system around the main production stage.
Monitoring + Movement
Director/client monitoring, wireless video, support and stabilized movement can be built around the camera department and shot plan.
Use MVA at the level your film actually needs.
Some productions need only a stage. Others need a complete camera and lighting package. A larger indie feature may need crew coordination, production support, recording, ADR and post-audio services. MVA can scope the facility and technical departments around the production rather than forcing every project into the same package.

ARRI, RED and Sony—built as production systems.
For narrative work, the camera body is only the start. Build around lenses, media, power, camera support, wireless video, focus workflow, movement, lighting and the shooting schedule. MVA can support gear-only rentals or integrate the package with an MVA stage and production support.
From prep through the final production day.
- Script + scope: define the scenes, schedule, production scale and technical needs.
- Stage / location plan: identify what belongs on an MVA stage and what requires location work.
- Camera package: choose body, lenses, support, media, power, monitoring and movement.
- Lighting + grip: build the lighting, overhead and floor package around the scene work.
- Crew + logistics: coordinate prep, load-in, talent flow, parking, production support and shoot-day needs.
- Audio + post: connect recording, ADR and post-audio services where the film requires them.

Can I rent only the film gear and shoot somewhere else?
Yes. MVA has gear-rental paths for camera, lenses, lighting, grip, movement and monitoring. Confirm dates, package inclusions, prep and pickup / return logistics with the team.
Can we shoot a short film, pilot or vertical series?
Yes. The facility and production departments can be configured for shorts, pilots, episodic work and vertical narrative series as well as feature films.
Can I bring my own director, DP and crew?

Does MVA offer post for film?
MVA offers recording and post-audio paths including ADR, dialogue editing, Foley, sound design and final mix. Other post-production support can be scoped around the project.
Bring the script. Build the movie here.
Tell MVA what you are making, how many days you need, what crew is already attached and whether you need stage, cameras, lenses, lighting, grip, movement, monitoring, recording or post.
