On Tuesday, February 5, Farm Studios debuted its new soundstage and production facility to an enthusiastic crowd of local business representatives, the press, and hundreds of enthusiastic young filmmakers and students.
The impressive soundstage should do much for local film production and amp up the potential for film jobs in Northwest Arkansas thanks to the trio of investors, including Jason Netter (Kickstart Entertainment), along with Zak Heald (Intercut Productions) and Tom Heald, that joined forces to create Farm Studios.
Farm Studios sits on 4.5 acres of farmland off Dickson Road, near Highway 279, that has been transformed into a private Hollywood-style backlot designed to serve a wide variety of film, television, and media production needs.
The facility includes a 9,500 square-foot soundstage, the largest within a 500-mile radius of nearby Bentonville, Arkansas. The stage is equipped with a 50-by-90-foot cyclorama wall and a 30-by-50-foot light grid. Additionally, the facility hosts a 3,000 square foot set construction workshop.
Versatile, and designed to meet nearly every need for productions, large and small, Farm Studios will provide rentable production space for any film, television series, commercial, and multimedia content.
In addition to the rentable shooting space, the facility also offers production offices, a hair & make up room, VIP lounges, state-of-the-art conference room, and a full kitchen.
