What Seret Studios does

Seret Studios, established in 2001 and headquartered at 240 Water St. in Brooklyn, NY, is a privately owned filming location and sound stage operator that rents physical production spaces to film, television, fashion, advertising, and music-video clients across the New York City market. The company's portfolio comprises 19 distinct venues concentrated in Brooklyn's Greenpoint and DUMBO neighborhoods, including the five Terminal sound stages on the East River waterfront (Terminal Stages 1-5, ranging from 8,900 to 15,235 square feet with up to 40-foot ceilings), the Greenpoint Stages A-D, G, and H, the Greenpoint Loft, Unit 522, the 60,000-square-foot Ninja Park (Brooklyn Expo Center), the 26 Bridge and Brooklyn CYC properties in DUMBO, the Bridge Basement, the Bridge Rooftop, and the Milton Alleyway. Several locations are certified by the New York State Governor's Office of Motion Picture & Television Development as Stage 2 production facilities, qualifying them for union productions and state-film-tax-credit-eligible work.

The portfolio spans pre-WWII factories and warehouses with original brick and wood features through to modern cyclorama-equipped studios, rooftops with Manhattan skyline views, and outdoor waterfront alleyways. Selected amenities across the inventory include soundproofing, climate control, freight elevators, loading docks, free Wi-Fi at select locations, on-site parking, and flexible catering arrangements with no vendor mandates. Booking requires a signed location agreement, a certificate of insurance naming Seret Studios as additional insured, a booking fee, and a refundable security deposit delivered at least 48 hours prior to shoot; a 12-hour day constitutes the standard booking unit. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

Distribution and go-to-market are sales-led: the company solicits bookings via a searchable website (with filters by neighborhood, square footage, amenities, and parking), direct phone (718-618-6718), email ([email protected]), and Instagram/Facebook social channels featuring a 'Made At Seret' UGC feed. The customer base spans major studios and streamers (HBO, Netflix, NBC, ABC, MTV), fashion brands and magazines (Vogue, Prada, Calvin Klein, Armani, Tommy Hilfiger, Vanity Fair), film productions (Spider-Man, John Wick 3), television series (Billions, FBI, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Saturday Night Live), and music artists (Madonna, Jay-Z, Beyoncé), along with consumer brands such as Samsung and Peloton. The company is a participating member of NYC's Made in NY program and conforms to WCAG 2.0 Level AA accessibility standards on its website.
