NEW FILM STUDIO OFFERS SPACE TO UPCOMING AND ADVANCED TALENT

Rotterdam has gained a new film and photo studio that meets a growing need for an affordable, medium-sized studio.
With the recent opening of Studio 2620, initiators Maurice Young and Herman Slagter (White Bull Film) have met this need. The studio is located in the up-and-coming creative Rotterdam district of Heijplaat, where a 400 m² studio is situated at 2620.

The studio is intended to draw audio-visual productions in Rotterdam. With the loss of the Schiecentrale as a film studio, Rotterdam loses an important facilities company. Partly due to high rental costs, the studio was underutilized. Studio 2620 fills this gap. It is an attractively priced studio with standard facilities such as a bluescreen and limbo. These are necessary facilities for a film studio, which were, incidentally, lacking at the Schiecentrale. The studio is located within sight of the television tower in Waalhaven. This allows them to transmit programs directly to the broadcasting system in Hilversum.

As also stated in the RFF/RFC activity plan, the policy of the Municipality of Rotterdam is aimed at retaining highly educated creative entrepreneurs in the AV sector for the city, as well as at the further expansion of the physical facility infrastructure for its own AV industry. In that sense, the existence of a studio is of evident importance.

Additionally, to encourage young professionals to start working here, the studio will become a haven for AV artists and young, as yet unestablished filmmakers. Those who wish to showcase their skills and need space can contact Maurice Young (06 53 38 23 14 or 010 412 65 06).
