Frequently Asked Questions
-
Sessions start at $225 per hour with a two-hour minimum. That covers the room, cameras, microphones, lighting, and production support. Add-ons like extra cameras, editing, and publishing are priced separately, so you only pay for what your show actually needs.
-
Every session includes cinematic 4K Sony FX30 cameras, Shure SM7 microphones, customizable background lighting, wifi, and a producer in the room with you. You also get the full space: the white cyclorama wall, the natural-light footprint, and a private hair and makeup area.
-
The Production Studio holds up to 30 people and offers four microphone setups: Solo (1 mic), Duet (2 mics), Trio (3 mics), and Quartet (4 mics). Additional microphones and cameras are available as add-ons.
-
Dari is bookable 24 hours a day, seven days a week, excluding holidays. Late-night sessions, early call times, and weekend batch days are all available. Very few Hollywood production studios offer round-the-clock booking, and it's one of the reasons repeat clients choose us.
-
Dari is at 1441 N McCadden Pl, Hollywood, CA 90028, inside a historic 1927 building where The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, and Frank Zappa recorded. It's minutes from Hollywood Boulevard and easy to reach from the 101.
-
Yes. We have a free, gated on-site lot that fits 10 to 15 cars, which is rare for a Hollywood studio. The lot is street level, so load-in is straightforward. It can also be booked as a production base camp or outdoor shoot location.
-
Yes. The space is a blank canvas built for video podcasts, branded content, product and editorial photoshoots, music videos, self-tapes, online courses, and film production. The large white cyc wall and abundant natural light make it flexible enough to look different every time you shoot.
-
No. The room comes ready with cameras, microphones, and lighting, and production support is included rather than sold as an upsell. If you want a fuller team or post-production, we offer editing, social shorts, thumbnails, and podcast publishing as add-ons.
-
Yes, external catering is allowed. There's a jacaranda-shaded outdoor courtyard adjacent to the space that works well for breaks, craft services, or as a secondary shooting backdrop.
-
Book directly online: choose your microphone setup and time window, and confirm. You'll walk into a room that's already lit and miked, record your session with your producer, and leave with your files.
