SPACE – OUR PAST AND OUR PRESENT
Downey Studios is situated on the site of a former NASA/Boeing site in Los Angeles County. The site was chosen in 1929 by E.M. Smith so he could build his new aircraft The Challenger. Through the years, the site has been home to numerous ground-breaking and record shattering innovations, including the Navaho Missile project, the Apollo Spacecraft Development program, and the Space Shuttle.

Aerospace history was made here and now we are making Hollywood history. We are the largest independent film facility in Los Angeles. In addition to the biggest undeveloped back lot, we are also home of the largest indoor water tank in North America. And we offer all the amenities of a full service major studio with none of the hassles. All of this lies in the 30 mile zone and is an easy drive from anywhere.
