Grey Pigeon Studios was founded with a simple goal: to create an affordable film studio where independent creatives could bring their ideas to life. Located just outside Sofia, Bulgaria, our space was designed to serve as a student-friendly film studio and a versatile creative video production space for filmmakers, designers, and artists who want to work hands-on without breaking the bank.
What started as a dream to fill a gap in the local film industry wants to grow into the go-to studio for indie filmmakers and a nexus of artistic collaboration.
Whether you're looking to rent a studio for film production, explore filming locations in Sofia, or test your set design skills in a real-world setting, Grey Pigeon Studios is here to help you.
We believe that professional studio space should be available to all - especially students, emerging artists, and independent filmmakers seeking a budget studio for filmmakers.
From ready-made film sets to complete custom builds, we encourage experimentation and innovation with every frame.
We are more than just a film studio rental in Bulgaria - we are building a creative partnerships network through future workshops, events, and educational collaborations.
We proudly support a diverse creative community, including:
Whether it’s your debut or your tenth project, our independent film studio is ready to adapt to your needs.
Grey Pigeon Studios doubles as a set design student studio, offering a space they can come in, try out their ideas, and build a portfolio.
Multimedia producers, video artists, and commercial creatives all can find value in our flexible video production space.
