About Us
Welcome to NewBIT Studios, where creativity finds its home in the heart of North Central Pennsylvania. We’re more than just a studio; we’re a vibrant community dedicated to the art of filmmaking, education, and bringing stories to life.
Founded by a team of seasoned film industry veterans, NewBIT Studios breathes new life into a former elementary school, transforming it into a dynamic production hub. We recognized the untapped potential of this unique space—over 20 transformable rooms, distinct entrances, a sprawling basement, and a welcoming courtyard—and envisioned a place where imagination could flourish.
At NewBIT, we believe in meaningful work, ethical practices, and building a sustainable film economy right here in our community. Our mission extends beyond providing rental space; we are developing a comprehensive suite of services, set to launch soon, designed to support every stage of your project:
- Versatile Locations: From our adaptable indoor spaces to our expansive outdoor grounds, we will provide the perfect backdrop for film shoots, photo sessions, and events. (Location rentals are currently available through our Peerspace page)
- Full Production Support: We will offer equipment rentals, casting assistance, and end-to-end production services, streamlining your creative process. (Coming Soon!)
- Educational Excellence: Our groundbreaking BTL OTJ Training program is specifically designed to train and develop production crew members, such as grip, electric, camera assistant, and set dresser, allowing local residents to gain practical skills and leverage their transferable abilities to work on projects at NewBIT Studios. Participants will gain valuable work experience, meet industry professionals, and apply their skills in real-life scenarios. Our goal is to equip local individuals with the necessary skills to take on various crew positions and actively contribute to the film productions that come to our studio. (Training Program Launch Date to be Announced!)
- Specialized Creative Services: Through PSR: Graphics and Pine St. Rentals, we will provide custom props, expendables, and unique design solutions. (Coming Soon!)
