Welcome to Norkai Studios, a collection of standing sets in downtown Los Angeles. Being near Little Tokyo, we named our standing sets Nor (for North) and Kai (for ‘sea’ in Japanese) after the North Sea neighborhood it’s located in.
Testimonials
I have worked at the Norkai stages several times and find them perfect for small to medium scale shoots. The staff is wonderfully helpful yet unobtrusive staff. The stage has handy compliment of grip/electric perfect for quick small shoots available. The versatility of the space is amazing and allowed us to create distinct looks for various projects. The makeup and staging area was outfitted just right to allow our artists to work fast and comfortably too as well as have our DIT set up shop! Parking in the alley set to unload was incredibly convenient too. I plan to rent the Norkai stage repeatedly well into the future!
Norkai is the best! It had everything we needed: affordable pricing, convenient load-in, and several beautiful standing sets. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful as well. Had a great experience renting their space and would do it again in a heartbeat!
Incredible AND affordable space to shoot in. The Norkai team was so easy and fun to work with, and the space is in such a convenient part of DTLA. You can actually find parking! They also had tons of gear we could rent too. My team and I had a great experience and definitely plan to work with Norkai again.
