What Skyway Studios does

Skyway Studios is a privately held, Nashville-based video and television production facility operating from a 16-acre gated campus at 3201 Dickerson Pike. The facility houses seven distinct production studios (Studios A-G) plus a ~12,000 sq ft Flex Space, comprising four large production studios (3,340-5,029 sq ft each) and three insert studios (231-633 sq ft). Core technical assets include Studio D's LED Smart Stage featuring 2.9mm cinema-grade panels (3840x2160 resolution, 36' x 13'6" with 3' curve) with real-time rendering and camera tracking; Studio C's 90-degree cove CYC wall (36' x 27') capable of chroma key green; a multi-level 4K/HD control room with full audio and camera shading capabilities; and high-speed fiber connectivity up to 10 Gig enterprise pipe via The Switch and Viivx. Supporting infrastructure includes 2500A commercial power with dual 1,750 KW Caterpillar generators, FM-200 fire suppression, Keyscan access control, and 600-vehicle parking.

The facility operates 24/7 and is staffed by a sales-led team led by CEO and Founder Julie Stadler, generating revenue through custom-quoted studio rental and production services. The go-to-market is direct outreach to enterprise production companies, television networks, music labels, advertising agencies, and corporate marketing departments, with named clients spanning music entertainment (Lainey Wilson, Halestorm, Keith Urban, Brothers Osborne, Ashley McBryde, Jack White), television (IMPACT Wrestling as a tenant since 2016, the Emmy-nominated Pickler & Ben talk show for two years), advertising (Audi with Ogilvy and Creative Technology, American Eagle), and corporate institutions (Vanderbilt University, Maybelline, Dollar General, Capital One). An on-site vendor ecosystem — including Moore Casting, Nashville Lighting and Grip, and scenic set designers — plus a Production Resource Builder tool support a turnkey production experience for clients booking multi-studio projects such as the 2026 Audi 'A Life of Yes' campaign and the American Eagle Ella Langley fashion campaign.
