Newly Redesigned Event and Multimedia Studio Demonstrates Deep Commitment to Ecological Producing and Partying

February 10, 2011, San Francisco, CA: Hosting an event or your production at Madrone Studios, a hip and stylish event and production space in San Francisco, is not only good for customers, but also good for the planet. Demonstrating a deep and abiding commitment to renewable resources, reduced carbon footprint and sustainable parties and productions, Madrone Studios are at the forefront of ecological production, post production and parties.
Madrone’s efforts go beyond recycled paper in the copiers. Ecological adaptations include: partnering with catering companies that source fresh ingredients from local organic farms with vegetarian and vegan options, exclusive utilization of reusable or biodegradable catering supplies, use of eco-friendly and low-wattage lighting to reduce energy consumption, use of green interior furnishings from reclaimed materials including furniture, organic linens and sheets and a state of the art Kangen water filtration system that filters and alkalizes drinking water for optimum health.

“It’s very trendy right now to say you are a green company,” said Jonathan Rowe, Founder, Madrone Studios. “But at Madrone we take our responsibility to the planet very seriously. We named our company after the Madrone tree—an important native American species which provides food, shelter, fuel and more for local creatures large and small. Our company was both named and founded with the idea that we needed to be good citizens of the planet.”

One of the most important ways that Madrone is good for the environment is by reducing transportation costs. Located adjacent to public transportation in the heart of San Francisco, the studio offers everything from production to post production to events, serving as a one-stop shop for productions and events. Additional live streaming and videoconferencing services even allow folks to join the fun without leaving their living rooms.

 “A group can shoot a music video in the morning, put it through post production and sweetening in the afternoon, rock out a CD-release party in the evening and stream everything live on the internet all in the same day,” said Jonathan.  “The studio space is large, flexible and extremely configurable—saving our clients time, money and effort.”
 
Many companies large and small have utilized the facilities at Madrone Studios.  The facility has hosted small events such as a BioLogic conference on compost tea and soil, as well as huge events such as a Burning Man holiday party complete with performances by aerialists from Cirque du Soleil.  The studio’s extensive and impressive client list includes renowned photographers and companies such as Adidas, Adobe, Ebay, Forbes, GenArt, Lamborghini, Pony, Siemens, Williams Sonoma and many other of the world’s
most innovative and desirable brands.
 
“Just because we’re green doesn’t mean we’re small time, stodgy or backwards,” said Jonathan.  “We recently hosted an event with Mos Def and NASA.  That proves it—we’re big, smart, savvy and sexy.”
 
Located in San Francisco’s SOMA (South of Market) district, Madrone Studios is a production, post production and event space supremely suited to the needs of the current producer.  Featuring an 8,000 ft. photography and film studio, a double CYC, extensive green screen setup, drive-in access, a one-ton motorized crane, partial grid, catwalk, full sound system, 18-foot cove, and 20-ft ceilings the space is ideal for filming commercials, music videos, and films as well as staging extensive fashion photo shoots.  Additional perks including a deluxe client area, fully-equipped kitchen, large dressing room, luxury green room, laundry, and shower facilities ensure that everyone involved from the production team to the VIP talent will be pampered in style.  Extensive onsite screening rooms, editing facilities and a fully equipped recording studio create a one-stop shop—allowing producers to shoot, review, edit, sweeten and stream all from one convenient
location.
 
Madrone Studios is also uniquely suited to modern events. Aside from the elegant and sleek design, the production, recording and posting facilities allow swanky affairs to be recorded, edited and streamed simultaneously during the party.  And event planners can rest assured that their guests may revel responsibly given Madrone’s very close proximity to public transportation and focus on environmentally sound and sustainable production and party practices.  More information may be found at madronestudios.com.
