Avenue Six Studios Acquired by SP Media Group, Plans Expansion Into Full-Service Production Hub
SP Media Group, the production and entertainment company led by veteran producer Paul Reitzin and advised by Jon Voight, has officially acquired Avenue Six Studios in Van Nuys, California—a strategic move that positions the facility as a fully integrated basecamp for filmmakers in Los Angeles.
Originally founded in 2009, Avenue Six has long been a favorite for lean, nimble productions. With four certified soundstages, a built-in New York-style backlot, and a full inventory of props and equipment on site, the studio has hosted everything from Oprah Winfrey Network talk shows to music videos, commercials, and indie films.
Now, under SP Media Group’s ownership, the 30,000-square-foot facility is being reimagined as a one-stop creative campus for global productions looking to shoot in Hollywood. Planned upgrades include the addition of an LED virtual production stage, editing and post facilities, and flexible space for branded content, social media campaigns, photography, workshops, and podcast production.
“Avenue Six is already one of the most producer-friendly stages in Los Angeles,” said Reitzin. “Our goal is to build on that reputation by making the facility a true turnkey destination—from prep to post.”
SP Media President Scott Karol emphasized the studio’s versatility. “Whether you’re mounting a feature, shooting content for a brand, or hosting an industry event, Avenue Six is built for creative flexibility. And with its certified stages, productions save time and money by bypassing lengthy permit requirements.”
The studio’s future role goes beyond physical production. As SP Media continues its development slate—including the upcoming Devilina feature in partnership with Paramount Pictures and the relaunch of the Atlas Comics IP library—Avenue Six will serve as a central hub for original content creation, IP incubation, and cross-platform storytelling.
While the acquisition represents a local win for Los Angeles-based production, it also ties into a broader national conversation. Paul Reitzin and Jon Voight have submitted a federal incentive proposal to Washington, aimed at boosting domestic production through new tax incentives, job training programs, and infrastructure support. The plan is reportedly under review at the White House.
“I’ve been filming in LA since I was 12 years old,” Reitzin said. “Having a studio of our own opens up incredible possibilities—not just for us, but for the entire creative community looking to keep production local.”
With stages already booked for three upcoming projects, the Avenue Six relaunch reflects a growing trend: producers looking to consolidate resources, reduce travel costs, and base their shoots in flexible, well-equipped facilities close to talent and infrastructure.
As industry uncertainty gives way to new models of content creation and distribution, Avenue Six’s evolution into a full-service production basecamp is a sign of where things are headed—leaner, faster, and more centralized.
