the staff of the Ridgewood blog
Long Branch, NJ, Move over, California—the Jersey Shore is officially cementing its status as the East Coast’s next great entertainment capital.
As a massive, multi-billion-dollar production boom reshapes the state, independent creators and major production companies are planting permanent roots in local communities. The latest milestone? Unlimited Studios has announced the grand opening of its brand-new, high-level production facility in Long Branch, New Jersey.
Positioned just minutes away from Netflix’s upcoming mega-campus, this new facility ensures that local filmmakers, brands, and digital creators no longer have to leave the shore to produce world-class content.
Inside the New 3,000-Square-Foot Production Hub
Located at 122 Myrtle Ave. in Long Branch, Unlimited Studios is the very first independent, full-service film and television studio to establish a permanent footprint in the town.
The state-of-the-art, 3,000-square-foot complex is fully loaded with top-tier gear and infrastructure built to handle everything from viral social media campaigns to indie feature films:
-
Cyclorama Wall: A massive, vehicle-ready cyc wall designed to accommodate cars for commercials and high-end music videos.
-
Podcast Suite: A four-seat, video-ready podcast room optimized for pristine audio and multi-camera streaming.
-
Post-Production & Tech: Advanced editing suites, full blackout capabilities, ultra-high-speed connectivity, and an extensive inventory of camera, lighting, and grip rentals.
-
Creator Amenities: A dedicated lounge, specialized wardrobe areas, and hassle-free on-site parking.
Beyond the physical space, the studio’s internal production team will actively assist creators in navigating New Jersey’s highly lucrative film tax incentive programs.
“Not Just on the Skyline”: Serving Local Creators
The opening comes at a historic turning point for New Jersey entertainment. The state is currently drawing unprecedented infrastructure investments from the industry’s absolute heaviest hitters:
-
Netflix is underway on its massive $1 billion production campus at nearby Fort Monmouth.
-
Paramount-backed 1888 Studios is transforming the waterfront in Bayonne.
-
Lionsgate is constructing a massive hub in Newark.
“The headlines are about the giants, but the industry rising in New Jersey needs studios in its towns, not just on its skyline,” explains Madison Santos, co-founder of Unlimited Studios. “We built a real studio and a real production team here so filmmakers, brands and creators don’t have to leave the state, or even the shore, to make great work.”
Launch Day: Free Public Grand Opening Details
To celebrate the launch, Unlimited Studios is teaming up with the Garden State Film Festival and the New Jersey Film Academy to host a massive community networking event.
