A New Chapter For CHP

When you first stepped into the old building that’s now home to Chase Hartwell Productions, it didn’t look like a studio — it looked like a story waiting to be told. Built in the 1950s, it began as a barn, later became a garage, and now, decades later, it’s a place built for creativity. The exterior still carries the character of every chapter — worn wood, solid foundation, and soft light sneaking through the windows. We didn’t want to erase that history; we wanted to build on it. To honor the craftsmanship that came before us, and to give it new life as a space where ideas, brands, and people come together to create something cinematic and timeless.

The smell of lawn and oil filled the room as we started to clear it out. Now, let’s be honest, this does not sound like somewhere you want to bring your clients and take pictures. We get it! After cleaning it up, stripping it down, we watched the amazing transformation for months. The drywall went up, the electricity and AC went in, and the floors finished what was now our amazing new creative space.

What sets us apart is the equipment we provide:
📽️ Projector
🖥️ Monitor
⽥ Field Monitor
🔇 Sound Absorber
🖨️ Photo Printer

What makes this space special isn’t just the design or the equipment — it’s the story it holds. It’s a place where the past and present meet, where hard work and imagination collide. We kept the integrity of the old structure — the original framing, the texture, the history — but layered in everything we needed to create professional, cinematic content that feels human and intentional.

Now, this studio isn’t just our headquarters — it’s a home for collaboration. Whether we’re filming a brand campaign, shooting editorial content, or capturing drone footage that tells a story from above, every project starts here — in a space built with care, creativity, and a deep respect for its roots.

Standing in it now, it’s hard not to think about how far we’ve come — from a dusty barn built in the 1950s to a fully realized creative studio built for the future. And honestly? It’s just the beginning.
