Subscribe to their email newsletter to see what's coming up, and if a title appeals to you, this is the place to see it. These people care deeply about film. The ticket prices are reasonable and it's easy to find street parking in the area. Plus, there's a cozy bar downstairs for pre/post screening drinks and discussion, and a nice selection of hard to find film books for sale in the lobby. Highly recommended.

I really appreciated that they called to let me know there would be a community event that might impact us. They even kindly put our drinks in the fridge so that we would have something cool to drink later and made sure the room was set up for us with ice water to drink. The room was a very comfortable meeting space and I heard many positive comments about it, plus the bathroom was nice and clean and cutely decorated. Thanks to Studious the meetup was a success! I liked the space so much, I'm thinking of coming back for a day-pass. The space looked very serene and a great place to work! Great vibes! I would definitely book another meetup here again.

My experience at the Jesus Wall studio was different in that this was the first time I went with a professional celebrity photographer, who actually highly recommended it. The great thing about this place was that in addition to themed walls, couches, curtains, and white space, it also came with professional equipment such as key lights, props, and even a wind machine I got to use to flow my daughter's hair for portraits. It was equipped with everything that a professional photographer needs. There was even a makeup mirrored table to prep for shoots, which apparently was key for my daughter. The place is located in an interesting industrial-looking lot near downtown LA, and while there are a lot of parking spaces, they were quite full. However, just a few minutes of waiting yielded open spaces, as apparently there is a lot of come-and-go traffic. I enjoyed my experience here, and the proof is in the phenomenal photographs I got back.

Came here for the Ryoko Kui "Dungeon Meshi: Delicious in Dungeon" pop up. I do a panel at anime…read moreconventions called "Food Reviewing Dungeon Meshi" where I analyze and review the dungeon floors from the series along with the monsters and dishes they cook, then give real life recommendations to where you can find these dishes in SoCal, so I HAD TO GO HERE. And you know, bring my past Yelpies awards so I can do what my boyfriend calls, "grosshikatsu". We got tickets beforehand online via Eventbrite. I suppose for more busier days, you have a time slot you book and enter. By the time we went, they were sadly already out of commemorative dishes. Also unfortunately, I had no idea that they had a stamp rally with Kinokuniya (would have been nice if there were signs or it was much more publicized -- actually, even when we went to Kino after, they were already out of the stamp cards), but after the kindness of the staff and some convincing and us dying from the heat, they understood our situation. Parking is awful as many such Little Tokyo cases are, but even more so during the weekend and during some events going on in the area, so either be ready to circle around or pay up and make the walking journey here. Getting in is easy, staff scan your QR code ticket and you get a free random post card. One side of the gallery was Ryoko Kui's other works with art drafts, sketches, some translated manga panels, information and background to her works, very nice if you're not familiar with her doujinshi or works outside of Dungeon Meshi. The other side of the gallery was all Dungeon Meshi. You are not allowed to take or record photos of the TV's showing the anime, but everything else seemed to be fair game. The gallery showed various art from scenes in the series and other standalone art of the characters in the world of Dungeon Meshi, the original and final cover art for the manga volumes, a written interview with Ryoko Kui, and much more. Afterwards was the real treat of the visit, all of the photo ops from the animated series, including replicas of the dishes from the series as well as the information of the monsters that were used for the said dishes. PERFECT MATERIAL FOR MY PANEL MIND YOU. Great for photo ops, I loved the color, attention to detail, the 3D aspects of seeing the dishes in front of you, and the detailed back drop and information for the dishes too (like floor 1 hot pot having the scorpion and mushroom cut outs), seeing the walking armor, love the frog photo op and much more. It only covers season 1 of the anime, but, again, perfect for the panel that I host and makes me even more excited for season 2. After the photo op area, there are some cut outs and food models for the concept art of the exhibit itself. Crazy to see that I'm taller than Marcille and my height in comparison to the main cast. Then of course, there's the gift shop at the end. Bonus goods if you spend more than $25, if you share on SNS, and sadly, of course things were already sold out. Solid visit and worth going out of our way to visit (I mean we're obviously otaku too, so kill 2 birds 1 stone in Little Tokyo), and definitely if you are a fan of the series, a foodie, or BOTH like me! NOTE: Since the pop up is in the summer, it gets SUPER hot in this art space. I don't think there's really strong AC in here so lots of fans on the ground and you will get warm. RIP to the cosplayers I saw here.

I grew up in the Rust Belt in a city which is prominent on every year's "Top 15 Most Dangerous…read moreCities in the US" list. Flanked by mobsters and gangs, my hometown was brought to such devastation due to the fact that it was a steel mill town which became abandoned after shut downs. Typical story of the mid-west. However sad this may be, this environment made me who I am and caused my art to bud. My love for photography of industrial and abandoned places grew into a passion in that city and continues to this day. What does any of that have to do with the Brewery Lofts? The Brewery Lofts are not only a welcome haven as a work/live space for eccentric artists but it is also conducive to visitors to the premises. It doesn't take a scientist to know that these lofts were at one time an actual operating brewery. Thus, the compound has several warehouses, steel buildings, factories, and other industrial formations which provide studios for budding and established artists alike and lovely grounds for industrial photographers such as myself. Alright, maybe you don't think of rusty steel as "lovely" but I sure do. The Brewery Lofts provide various studio space layouts which range from one floor studios to 2-floor spaces which look straight out of Ikea. The best thing is that the artists have free-reign and live within their art with very little rules. I've attended some get-togethers at various studios and everyone lets their creativity run free. As a visitor, I feel the same freedom being allowed to walk the grounds and photograph the buildings to my heart's content without some guard telling me I need a permit which is usually the case at many LA buildings and parks. Basically, the Brewery Lofts satisfies my photography outlet of abandoned and industrial buildings which although rampant in the city I grew up in; more of a needle in a haystack in LA. Finding a spot like this provides me with a creative outlet and release which I direly need. If you want to check out the works of the artists and to roam the grounds, the Brewery Artwalk weekends provide free art entertainment. Photographers, woodworkers, avant-garde exhibitions, sculptures, cooking classes; you will find it all at the artwalk. The best part is that most of the attendees are truly art-appreciators versus pretentious folk whom want to seem artsy. Whether you are an artist seeking some studio space, an art-lover, or a individual who loves industrial settings; the Brewery Lofts will satisfy your cravings.
