Help Us Grow the Vision

BIOS Studios began with a camera, a cause, and a belief: that storytelling could build a better world. Now, with our impact growing and demand rising, we’re ready to take the next step—creating a permanent home for purpose-driven media production in Connecticut.

We’re not just expanding a studio.
We’re expanding economic opportunity, educational access, and cultural equity.

🎯 The Vision

We are developing a flagship production hub to anchor BIOS Studios in the heart of Connecticut. This facility will be a hybrid:

🎬 Film Studio – for on-set production, interviews, PSAs, and short films
💻 Post-Production Suite – for editing, animation, and voiceover
🎓 Training & Mentorship Center – for BIOS Trade School students
🤝 Community Media Hub – for nonprofits, schools, and public campaigns

📍 Proposed location: Adjacent to BIOS Homes Factory or partner-owned site (TBD)
📐 Conceptual designs and site studies in progress

📐 Facility Goals

We’re designing a modular, expandable facility that includes:

Phase 1: Production & Education Center

  • 2 sound stages (one hard-wall, one flexible black box)

  • Control room + green room

  • Editing & animation suites

  • Voiceover and podcast booth

  • Student training lab

  • Flexible workshop space for hands-on learning

Phase 2: Post-Production + Broadcast Wing

  • Full-scale post-production facility
