Our Studio Locations

Why we own studios?


Before founding Prism Lens FX in 2018, Tom & Jakob spent nearly a decade shooting hundreds of music videos for indipenedent artists. In that span of time, they found themselves shooting at every major studio location in Los Angeles... and one day decided to make their own! Fastforward to 2025 Tom & Jakob own & operate 6+ studio locations in California & Arizona!

Coming up shooting music videos, we found ourselves looking for vintage motels sets, but the best ones were hours away in the middle of the desert. This lead us to design and build our own from the ground up! Our set feautres a motel bedroom & bathroom along with a front office set!

The idea of this set came about because of the red tape involved to permit and shoot in an actual church. We decided to build our own church from the ground up in a warehouse! This set features a full 360 church with pews, a conffesional booth, and a twin peaks inspired set!
