Mark McKennon and I recently had the opportunity to tour Lightbox-NY, a 10,000 sf rental studio / industrial location in the Bronx, on Barretto Street, in the Hunts Point area, in the building complex I have always known the Bronx Apparel Center.
Lightbox-NY opened this past year and is owned and operated by local NYC location scouting legends David Appleson and Carl Bellavia.
The space is unique in that it fills (at least a part of…) a current shortage of shoot-ready industrial aesthetic film locations in the New York City area. The space features a “raw” industrial interior with large, factory-typical windows and skylights as well as an accessible rooftop which includes a unique graphic element of the skylight’s shapes and the Bronx as a cityscape backdrop. Additionally, Lightbox-NY provides 10,000 sf more of production-wired raw studio space with potential for use as a propped, built-set sound stage for the local film production market.
Best wishes and good luck to David and Carl on their venture and hopes we might have an opportunity to shoot at their space sometime soon! -RH
