OCTFME RECOGNIZES THE SPACE AS THE APRIL 2026 LOCATION OF THE MONTH
Washington, DC - The District of Columbia Office of Cable Television, Film, Music, and Entertainment (OCTFME) has named THE SPACE as the April 2026 Location of the Month, one of the District's most versatile and production-friendly venues located in the heart of Chinatown.
Designed as a modern, 12,000 square foot blank canvas, THE SPACE offers an expansive, industrial-inspired environment that can easily transform to support film, television, commercial shoots, large-scale creative productions, and experiential activations. With soaring ceilings, exposed architectural elements, and an open, flexible floor plan, the venue provides a dynamic backdrop that can easily transform to meet a wide range of creative visions.
"THE SPACE represents exactly the kind of forward-thinking production-friendly environment we are proud to highlight through our Location of the Month initiative. Its scale flexibility, and central location make it an incredible asset for filmmakers choosing Washington, DC. We are excited to continue spotlighting spaces that empower creativity and attract dynamic productions to our city," said OCTFME Director and Film Commissioner, LaToya Foster.
Operated by Brick & Mortar Venues, THE SPACE was intentionally developed to meet the growing demand for a large, adaptable production environment in Washington, DC. Its neutral aesthetic, abundant natural light from oversized windows, and unobstructed layout allow filmmakers and production teams to fully customize the space from intricate set builds to dramatic lighting designs.
From a production standpoint, THE SPACE is equipped to accommodate convenient street-level loading dock, complex builds, lighting rigs, and staging while maintaining clear sightlines and seamless flow. Its central downtown location also provides convenient access to hotels, restaurants, and public transportation - making it an ideal hub for both local and visiting productions.
"The entire Brick & Mortar Venues team is thrilled to be featured by the Office of Cable Television, Film, Music, and Entertainment," said Sarah Hurt, Founder, Brick & Mortar Venues. "THE SPACE was designed to be a flexible canvas for creativity, and we look forward to welcoming filmmakers, photographers, and production teams into the venue."
