Studio Updates - Sept 2023

The Loop Lab Studio is a great fit for clients who are seeking more than a transactional relationship and understand the long-term value of investing directly in the community. We’ve had an amazing summer out in the field as well as working on projects currently in development. Below is a snapshot.

Attaching a face to the name. This is me, a.k.a student Deirdre, as lead electric using every stick of camlock for an outdoor shoot at a football stadium. We didn’t have power until lunch, which meant a lot of people didn’t get their morning coffee. While I don’t pat myself on the back for my gripping skills, I’ve been effective in my career as a producer and creative developer because I understand every aspect of the production process.

Working for companies such as Wise Entertainment and Film Independent out in Los Angeles would not have been in the cards for me if I did not have access to this education, which was only possible because I received a fellowship. I’m passionate about my work with The Loop Lab because we are creating new but necessary systems to make this career path attainable and rewarding for more people in the community.

In July, The Loop Lab Studio provided event photography and videography for Phillips Brooks House Association’s Midsummer Celebration. While we eventually got rained out (because let’s be honest, it rained ALL summer) there was still enough sunshine to capture the essence of the event along with these BTS photos. Above is The Loop Lab Studio team geared up and ready to go.

In August and September, The Loop Lab Studio served as a production partner on a vodcast series. Our space is slowly but surely becoming a working production studio. This project is still very much under wraps and will be announced soon.

Beginning this month, we kick off production for our first round of artists awarded the Boston Media Arts Empowerment Award, an award made possible by the generous support of the Mayor’s Office of Arts & Culture. Congratulations to the awardees! Keep an eye out on our social media for behind the scenes peeks as we capture rappers, spoken word artists, dancers, and musicians from different neighborhoods of the city. These small yet mighty productions offer the perfect opportunity to bring our alumni aboard and not only enhance their skill set, but be exposed to other emerging artists like themselves. 

On October 16th, the award application will open again and this time, we’re accepting 24 artists! Mark your calendars and share with your friends because this will be the final round. You can find the eligibility guidelines on our website here.
