A Return to American Excellence
Greater Cleveland's Film Factory
Here Creative Fire Grows in an Industrial Forge
Creative Spaces delivers what Ohio's film industry has not had before: a sound stage built to the specifications major pictures and episodic television demand. Drive-in access, thirty-foot clear height, seven 400-amp switches, and full production office infrastructure are built into the campus from the ground up.
The 4.32-acre campus in Euclid sits fifteen minutes from downtown Cleveland, with direct access to I-90 and Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. Creative Spaces serves major productions and independent filmmakers on the same stage, with the same standard of excellence which the Ingalls family has upheld for generations.
Excellence Comes with a Lower Cost in Greater Cleveland
30% State Tax Credit
Ohio's Motion Picture Tax Credit returns up to 30% on qualified production expenditures.1 No overseas travel. No currency exchange. No foreign tax exposure.
37% Lower Avg. Base Costs
Even before incentives, $1M spent in Cleveland costs $1.21M in Atlanta, $1.49M in Chicago, $1.82M in Los Angeles, and $2.08M in New York City.2 Your dollar goes further, and so does your production.
60% of North America
Cleveland sits at America's great crossroads. Sixty percent of the North American population lives within a single day's drive.3 Talent, vendors, and logistics are closer than you might expect.
15 Minutes From Downtown
Our campus in Euclid puts you at the edge of a major American city. Access to I-90, the Port of Cleveland, and Cleveland Hopkins International Airport is direct.
