Maine Studio Works
The studio is located in the East Bayside neighborhood of Portland, Maine, nestled amongst over 10 breweries/distilleries, and several art galleries. It is the largest studio in Maine, and can host large productions. And since the woodshop is on site, we can work with any set designer and build on premise.
About our studio
Maine Studio Works is a turnkey photo/video production and event space with two dedicated studios, a prop room, and a woodshop for custom set building. The total square footage is nearly 8,000 sqft, divided into Studio A, 1,200 sqft, and Studio B, nearly 6,000 sqft.
