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 square foot studio is complete with a professional isolated green screen 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.

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.

The 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Scents

    Our studio is scent free and we ask that people visiting do not wear scents, or make every effort to reduce scents.

  • Lighting

    The lighting in our studio is fluorescent, with LED converted bulbs in our main room.

  • 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.

Getting to our Studio…

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.

ADAPTIVE TRANSPORT

By request, with up to date Transport Adapté 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.

 

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.
