Why Viva Studios is Perfect for Your Next Shoot

Choose a studio by matching the shot list, crew size, set footprint, lighting, audio, load-in, and support-space needs to the facility. Viva Studio Rentals is a private film and photography facility in Etobicoke.

Viva Studio Rentals is a private 4,500 sq ft facility with a 2,000 sq ft soundstage, a pre-lit white cyc, support rooms, truck-height load-in, parking, WiFi, and manager access.

Every booking includes direct access to a studio and equipment manager for the facility and rental equipment. Productions remain responsible for their own creative and technical crew, and complete production support can be referred to Viva Media when needed.

Facility Details
