OUR MONTREAL STUDIO
AN INCLUSIVE, WELCOMING SPACE FOR ALL
Spectrum Productions is located in the heart of the Mile End, Montreal. Surrounded by some of the film and gaming giants of Montreal we are very much a part of the film, television and arts community.
Our 2400 sq ft studio is complete with a professional isolated greenscreen room, permanent lighting, twelve high-end workstations with professional editing, filming and animation capabilities like Adobe CC suite and Toonboom Studio for all your Editing, Motion Graphics and Animation needs.
Our comfortable common space provides a casual and welcoming area for socializing and relaxing, and includes a fully equipped kitchen area for cooking meals and storing food for the day.
TERRITORIAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Spectrum Productions is located on unceded Indigenous lands and the Kanien’kehá:ka Nation are recognized as the custodians of the lands and waters on which we gather. We respect the continued connections with the past, present and future in our ongoing relationships with Indigenous and other peoples within the Tiohtiá:ke/ Montreal community.
ACCESSIBILITY
Spectrum Productions is committed to ensuring all of our activities are accessible, treating everyone with equity, and continually learning and improving our access initiatives. We acknowledge that a variety of barriers still exist, and will work towards addressing issues as a priority to our service of our community.
COVID-19 POLICY
TRAVEL
DRIVING
Our location in a commercial building in the Plateau area of Mile End means that parking is often difficult to find so we recommend taking public transit, walking or biking. If driving is preferred, we can coordinate drop-off and pick-up at a designated meeting place in the downstairs lobby. We are able to provide some limited navigation supports, but this is on a case-by-case basis in accordance with staff capacity and must be arranged ahead of time.
METRO
The nearest metro station is Laurier. Rosemont is the nearest accessible station equipped with an elevator.
TRANSPORTE ADAPTE
By request, with up to date TA information and pre-approved scheduling of rides, we do provide some support in accessing the transporte adapte service, but it can be unpredictable resulting in cost and time impacts. To apply to use this service for traveling to and from our studio, please inquire about the potential by sending an email to info@productionsspectrum.com.
PHYSICAL SPACE
WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE: The building complex has wheelchair access through the parking garage, and via the wheelchair ramp located at the 5455 end of the building, corner Gaspe and St. Viateur next to walking path. There are accessible public washrooms marked by gender on the main floor of the building, and outside our studio on the 4th floor.
LIGHTING: The lighting in our studio is fluorescent, with LED converted bulbs in our main room.
SCENTS: Our studio is scent free and we ask that people visiting do not wear scents, or make every effort to reduce scents.
ALLERGIES: Due to the potential for allergic reaction, we generally avoid food that commonly produce reactions, but also ask that everyone notify us of any allergies before arriving.
AIR CONDITIONING: Climate control is regulated by an in-studio air conditioning unit, when it is hot enough to necessitate. The building owner controls the rest of the heating controls.
SERVICE DOGS: They are very welcome in our space, but we do ask everyone notify us in advance so we can prepare any accommodations needed or preferred.
PROGRAMMING
The wide variety of programs offered continue to increase our accessibility, which grows in parallel with organizational capacity. We are continually building new initiatives to make our content creation space open to all, and prioritize initiatives that help people overcome barriers to artistic practice or other creative modes of expression, and gain training, production, and employment opportunities.
FINANCIAL SUPPORT
To address financial need, we are launching and actively developing scholarship and bursary opportunities for individuals who have both a passion for media creation and limited finances. Scholarships are open to everyone, across all programs and will be awarded by our Board of Directors, with recommendations from our core team based on available funds and alignment with core organizational values. Funds are limited, so not all who apply will be awarded financial support.
