About Franklin Studios

Franklin Studios is owned and operated by five partners deeply rooted in the commercial production industry: Antony Packer, Kevin Parker, Marcus Fung, Jeremy Drummond, and Josh Alkoff.

Access to the Studio

Upon confirmation of your booking, you will receive a comprehensive information email containing all necessary details. Additionally, you'll be provided with a unique access code granting entry through the rear entrance of the studio. Please note, our standard access point is through the rear, via the back-alley entrance and loading bay. Should you require access through the front entrance, kindly inform us in advance, and we will endeavor to accommodate your request.

Booking Cancellations

If you need to cancel your booking between 7 and 30 days before your scheduled time, we can refund 50% of your fee. However, refunds aren't possible within a week of your booking due to high demand. Rescheduling within 7 days incurs a $300 re-booking fee. Thank you for understanding.

Hosting Events

Event hosting is considered on a case-by-case basis, ensuring the space is treated with respect and responsibility. We require detailed information regarding the event, including the number of guests, purpose, and alcohol consumption. Selling drinks requires a liquor license, which we can assist in securing for an additional fee.

Additionally, you'll have access to our lighting grid, ladders, props, furniture, and kitchenette. For those requiring additional camera, lighting, or podcast gear, these can be rented as add-ons.
