The name “Mack Sennett” is synonymous with classic Hollywood. Even those who may not recognize the name have seen his comedies or comedies that were inspired by them. His legacy is so much more than just the films he made. In 1916, he and Mabel Normand founded a studio. At the time, it was one of the most advanced studio facilities and it still is today. Mack Sennett Studios has more to offer than just a legendary name. This Los Angeles soundstage contains state of the art facilities that modern productions require.

The Early Years As a Los Angeles Soundstage

In its early days, Mack Sennett Studios had the kind of accouterments that very few studios could match. Wide open-air filming platforms that were topped by sturdy canvas tarps gave the studio the ability to appear on screen as practically anything. Many of the early famous comedy stars passed through the orbit of Mack Sennett: Harold Lloyd, W.C. Fields and of course, Charlie Chaplin. Once the reign of silent films gave way to “talkies,” the studio reinvented itself. The open-air areas were enclosed so that the films could have better sound and lighting.

Continually Reinvented

Today, there are multiple stages to choose from. Stage 1 has five thousand square feet of space and Stage 2 has two thousand square feet of space. Beyond that, each stage has their own facilities, too: full kitchens, green rooms and white cycs. Each can be used for far more than just filming a movie or television show. In addition, the facilities can be transformed to be the perfect venue for live events, concerts, exhibitions, gatherings and more – these stages combine the best of modern technology with the prestige of Old Hollywood.
