We love a little chaos in our history—and even more when it’s filmed in The Gallery 💥

We were thrilled that the History Channel team brought their new series Hazardous History with Henry Winkler to Optimist Studios.
From borderline genius to flat-out dangerous, this show tells the wild stories of things people used to do—for fortune, for fame, or even in the name of “science”.
Hosted by the legendary Henry Winkler, airs on the History channel on Sundays—go check it out! 📺🔥

A studio doesn’t create the story—
you do.

We provide the space, the infrastructure, the blank canvas. What happens inside? That’s entirely up to your imagination.
This time, we let AI run wild across our stages—and the result was, well, you be the judge. But nothing compares to what real people bring to life here.
Feature films. Indie projects. Fashion shoots. Commercials. Brand activations. Big or small events.
Or something no one’s even thought of yet...

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

What makes a good podcast studio?
We think it’s a place that gives you turnkey solutions. , Our studio is 17’x 23’ with lighting grid and professional grade sound proofing. Our packages include up to 3 Blackmagic pocket cinema cameras. There’s a video switcher already installed so you can leave with a live cut directly after your session. The room has multiple shooting options. We have multiple audio options. Additionally the room is equipped with professional video lighting that gives you a great deal of creative flexibility.
 
Whether you are a veteran or podcast newcomer our goal is to give you a space that allows you to do your thing and not worry about the tech. However, if you have your own tech package and just need the room, we can facilitate that too.
 
Please message us for more info, tours, pricing, and/or availability on this space and any of our other studios.
