A STUDIO FOR TODAY'S CREATOR
AstroLab Studios is Downtown Toronto’s only soundstage studio created specifically for short-form content production. Located on the lot of Revival Film Studios Toronto (where shows including Schitt’s Creek and American Gods are filmed), our studios are super easy to book, fully soundproofed, and include free parking. A stable fibre Internet connection and great acoustics make our space ideal for live streaming and any production that requires crisp audio capture. Our on-site lighting and equipment rentals make it possible for you to have an idea in the morning and be shooting it in the afternoon.
AstroLab is a multi-studio, single production facility. While we offer two separate shooting spaces and plenty of extra support space outside of the studios, our spaces can only be reserved by one production at a time. This means you and your team will always be the ONLY production in the space while you’re with us!

THE
STUDIOS
AstroLab is a multi-studio, single production facility. While we offer two separate shooting spaces and plenty of extra support space outside of the studios,
Our spaces can only be reserved by one production at a time!
This means you and your team will always be the ONLY production in the space while you’re with us!
Every production starts with a booking of Studio 1 (the larger of the two) and its support rooms (HMU, green room, kitchen, change room). If you require more space you can add Studio 2 with its relevant support rooms – otherwise it will remain unoccupied.
Either way, this is your home while you’re with us. Take your shoes off and get comfy!
STUDIO 1
Studio 1 is a clean raw space with full grid at 17′ clear and 35′ x 35′ of continuous cyc wall (slightly larger, but for simplicity sake).
Studio 1 comes with a large, bright kitchen, massive HMU room, large comfy green room, and lockable wardrobe room with an ensuite washroom.
Note: All productions start with a Studio 1 booking. If Studio 2 is not needed it remains unoccupied during your stay.
STUDIO 2
Studio 2 is a clean raw space with 18′ clear heights and 25′ x 29′ x 25′ of continuous cyc wall (U-Shaped Cyc).
Studio 2 comes with a large kitchen space, HMU station, production office/green room, and a lockable wardrobe room.
Note: Studio 2 is an “add-on” and cannot be booked alone. If you prefer to shoot in Studio 2 vs. Studio 1 you may do so. The rate will be the same as Studio 1.

THAT CREATE AT ASTROLAB
"Working with Adam and the team at AstroLab is an absolute pleasure. They are helpful throughout the process, from booking the space until the last crew member is out for the day. Everything we need is handled and is done professionally and with care. When I walk in the doors of AstroLab Studios, it’s like walking into a friend’s house. It’s welcoming, comfortable, and understanding. If there’s ever anything we needed there is always a staff member ready to help out. We required a last minute paint job done for the floor and it was confirmed and organized almost immediately. The space is functional and the packages they have including all the gear are super helpful especially for smaller productions because it saves us going to a bunch of rental houses. Any future productions requiring a studio space, Adam will be the first person I call."
"What keeps us coming back is that the AstroLab team are super supportive and very creative in their own right, so when we talk about what we want to do, they get equally as excited and passionate about our project as we are. And that sort of relationship building is invaluable."
"AstroLab works tirelessly to make sure that our productions look their best and that our clients are treated like royalty. It's a very comforting process to work with them because I know they're looking out for our best interests. And that's what you need in content creation is a partner, not just a vendor."
"Flying in from New York for a 2-day shoot without having previously seen the space had me nervous, but upon meeting Adam and team I knew we were in good hands! These guys are a class act and went above and beyond in making our shoot a success. They were so helpful, friendly, and accommodating and the space offers really great value to boot. Couldn't recommend this spot more highly!!!"
“AstroLab is one of the BEST studios in the Toronto/GTA area with everything we need. I highly recommend it to all filmmakers out there. I can't thank enough Adam and team for the wonderful service and their excellent support they provided during our shoot. Can`t wait to shoot there again.”
“AstroLab Studios is an amazing place to film. They are constantly updating and improving the studio. It amazes me at how in touch the team behind AstroLab is with the needs of both the 'Commercial' and 'Film' oriented clients. I would highly recommend AstroLab Studios over other similar facilities in Toronto.”
