Fostering creativity, community and prosperity.
The East Warren Community Studio operates inside the East Warren Tool Library and is powered by the Motor City Grounds Crew and SEED Education.
We provide a 140 square foot rental studio equipped with high quality audio, video, and still photography equipment, along with training and consultation for media production.
The East Warren Community Studio team is excited to foster creativity and prosperity by providing a broadcast studio with audio/visual production resources and content creation training. We prioritize programming that supports the economic growth and social needs of our community by offering production services on a sliding fee scale.
Our goal is to provide affordable access to media production for small businesses, community activists, nonprofits, artists, musicians and educators. The Studio has already offered an educational experience for trainees who have contributed their labor to its construction. We will continue to enable those interested in learning media content production and empower experienced content creators.
Content produced in the Studio will be transferred to the client’s storage device.
Our consultants offer technical support in the production and distribution of your content by quote.
Content can be streamed or downloaded via many web services.
