The Lot at Formosa is a hidden gem tucked into the heart of Hollywood. Located at the bustling intersection of Santa Monica Boulevard and North Formosa Avenue in West Hollywood, The Lot is a Studio that offers a creative platform for TV show, film, commercial, or photo shoot at a full-service production studio.The Lot has about 11 acres of production space and is steeped in history. Built in 1918 by Jesse D. Hampton, this simple film studio has grown into an impressive and expansive facility that boasts 10 sound stages, full-service post-production sound company, and a full-service restaurant and catering company focused on quality ingredients.I worked on a production here for about 3 weeks, and one of the thing that I liked was the secured parking, which put my mind at ease knowing my car was in good hands, having keycard access was a plus. The Lot is perfect for not only filming, but also for hosting events like Oscar parties, fundraisers, weddings, and bar mitzvahs. The Lot at Formosa offers a distinctive experience for a wide array of ceremonies and celebrations.The studio itself was nice and clean, and the attention to detail was evident in every corner of the facility. It's no wonder that The Lot has been a go-to spot for many Hollywood productions over the years. I would highly recommend The Lot to anyone in need of a top-notch production studio. Overall, my experience at The Lot was nothing short of exceptional.

This studio is pretty old, it's been around since 1920s, I was working here back and forth from October of 2022 until now. And the issue here would be the security at the entrance, no matter how many times I have been here, they still checking names and sometimes if production didn't update my name on the system for the day, then security would not let me in, which is frustrating because I need to be on time where I wanted to be, they're not very flexible, one time, the main parking entrance got technical issues with the gate, I had to park on the same side with construction workers and walked to the main gate, but security there was even worse, there was 2 of them that day when I had to come in for fitting, the younger guy gave me an attitude the entire time and being super rude, so I talked to the older gentleman, I told him that the other guy refused to give me a parking pass and sounded like I was lying to him. I said I had no reason to illegally entering this place, I only here to work, even when I showed him my email, so is he calling me a liar? Only then they decided to let me in.I wasn't the only one experienced this, one time that same staffs refused to let another girl in and she had to wait outside in her car while calling casting director so they can talk to security, her car ended up unable to start, and she had to stand by it until AAA can come and give her a jump, and because she was at a parking meter which also expired. Just terrible right?After the holidays I came back and the new security let me in just fine, I think I did address the issue a couple times last year, so this morning security asked for my name, then asked whether or not I was here before and if I knew where to go, I said yes, and he let me pass. Finally some changes for the new year.

The Lot is called the lot because it is the Lot. The history is rich here and many original buildings still stand including Frank Sinatras Bungalow. You can feel the past here and probably helps aid in the creativity of projects.
