Nearly four years after breaking ground in the heart of Sylmar, the aptly named Sylmar Studios expects to finally open its state-of-the-art six-soundstage facilities this summer for entertainment productions of all sizes – from television commercials to major feature films.

The Sylmar Studios complex boasts 120,000 square feet of soundstage space with high ceilings, over 100,000 square feet of offices, 28,000 square feet of production support facilities, including lighting and grip areas, and a 600-space parking structure. Sylmar Studios President and General Manager Patrick Dempsey said he’s looking forward to their official grand opening, tentatively set for July, and further expanding their growing community connections throughout Sylmar.

“We actually take a lot of pride in our relationships with the people who were here well before us – Los Angeles Mission College [LAMC] is a great example,” said Dempsey, noting that they plan to launch a program for LAMC students who are studying film, media and production.
