Praise for Harbor Island Studios

  • A young man with a beard and mustache looking into a mirror, holding a toothbrush.

    “The big draw of Harbor Island is the scope and scale of what you can build here. You have a lot of control over the space. It’s like a wide-open canvas where you can shoot crazy big stuff.”


    Blake Rizzo
    Writer, director, visual effects artist/supervisor

  • A woman with short blonde hair, glasses, and a friendly smile, wearing a black top with small metallic embellishments.

    “The studio is right on the water. I can’t think of any other stages I’ve worked on where I could just step out of the chaos of production and have a serene moment to look at the water and the mountains.”


    Megan Griffiths
    Filmmaker

  • "Harbor Island gives you the freedom to film whatever you want. You can use their props and materials, build sets, make use of the waterfront right outside. Kate and her team help filmmakers accomplish their dreams and goals.”


    Nuk Suwanchote

  • "I feel welcome at Harbor Island Studios every time I work there. I’m always able to get what I need to get my job done. The trust and support have been fantastic."


    Jason Puccinelli

  • "You get so much bang for your buck at Harbor Island. There’s always been talent here, and now there’s no barrier to doing larger productions with many types of scenes."


    Lacey Leavitt Gray
    Producer, writer

  • “Harbor Island Studios gives you fantastic accessibility. Most vehicles can drive right onto the stage. No stairs or ramps to contend with. You can have multiple sets on each stage and move around super efficiently. Nothing in the region comes close to it."
