“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.”

Writer, director, visual effects artist/supervisor -

“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.”

"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.”

“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."

"The studio has this vibe. It’s right on the Duwamish River in Seattle. You can see cargo ships, fish and seals swim by between shots. It feels like this safe place to go to be inspired, work, and create.”
