OUR MISSION

Upon relocating to Cedar Rapids, our founder identified a significant gap in the local market: the

absence of a rentable studio/soundstage in Eastern Iowa. This deficiency often forced talented video professionals to conduct corporate and commercial shoots outside the state, resulting in lost revenue and job opportunities for Iowa.

Driven by this realization, our mission is twofold. First, we aim to retain these productions within Iowa, fostering local talent and business. Second, we aspire to position our facilities as a premier destination for out-of-state productions, thereby enhancing tax revenues, boosting tourism, and supporting our vibrant local creative community. Our goal is clear: to prevent the outflow of creative talent to major cities such as Chicago, Atlanta, and Los Angeles, and to cultivate a thriving creative hub right here in Iowa.
