Founded in 2013, The CineHub was designed by filmmakers to foster an intentional community of local creatives by providing a resource center catering to film and video professionals and others in the world of digital media.
With many of us moving out of NYC to the Hudson Valley, we found ourselves lacking the equipment, shooting spaces, peer to peer networking, and other resources that we were accustomed to having close at hand. When we found the 4,000 square foot facility located in Beacon, NY, conveniently located just 2 blocks from the Metro North station, the idea of The CineHub started coming together.
In a town thriving on creativity, we are here to serve our community by providing a resource for our peers where ideas for visual storytelling can take root and blossom. We are made up of independent producers, creative directors, editors, audio technicians, shooters, graphic animators, and others in the world of visual arts and we love being part of the dialogue within this growing community of creators.
We are a hub for all your production needs offering video equipment rental, a production studio suitable to both video and photo shoots, comfortable private workspace, and endless possibilities where you can collaborate with your peers.
We hope that you will consider The CineHub your go to place for the resources you need to succeed.
