Friends and Colleagues:Monkeyland Audio is thankful for a great start to 2013. Our first quarter yielded three strong festival premieres (HBO’s “Manhunt” at Sundance, and “Hours” & “Snap” at SXSW), a Golden Reel win for “SEAL Team Six: The Raid on Osama Bin Laden”, and a steady stream of feature, television and short form projects. With no real downtime, we dive into our second quarter with a healthy roster of projects, and a few other exciting changes!
One of our goals for 2013 was to strengthen the presence, reach, and stability of Monkeyland Audio, and as good fortune would have it, the possibility of doing so has suddenly become a reality for us. Thus, we have begun an expansion of our operations, that will include:
A new home! Effective immediately our new main stages facility will be located at 4720 West Magnolia Blvd. in Burbank, just one block west from our previous home of the last 6 years. We have spent the last month upgrading the facility, which includes 2 large theatrical dual Icon equipped 5.1/7.1 mixing stages, (3) 5.1 television mixing stages, a beautiful ADR Stage, full Avid Online, Final Cut and Color finishing capabilities, and amazing client amenities including a full gourmet kitchen and large cantina-style lounge area.
In addition, we have begun the restoration and reestablishment of Monkeyland at 1750 Flower Street in Glendale, which will become our new sound design & editorial headquarters, as well as home to our foley stage and a new 5.1/7.1 film and television mixing stage.
And finally, the reacquiring and resurrection of Mix Stage A at 2700 West Magnolia in Burbank. A flagship stage for Monkeyland from 2000-2009, we are proud to announce we have recommissioned this great sounding stage at the CDP building where we have mixed literally hundreds of films over the years including “The Grudge”, “An Inconvenient Truth”, “Feast”, and “Pulse”.
We now have a greater variety of stages, including 2 larger theatrical stages, great amenities as well as a few different options in location in order to better serve our clients specific needs. We feel the move is a fantastic opportunity for our company’s long-term growth and can’t wait to show you our new home!
After lots of hard work over the past few weeks decommissioning the old Monkeyland while continuing to service our clients, we are proud to announce it is business as usual here at Monkeyland: same amazingly talented staff, same phone number, new location: 4720 West Magnolia Blvd., Burbank, CA 91505 phone: 8128-553-0955.
As we prepare to leave our previous facility behind, we take with us many great memories from these last six years, and want to thanks all our clients and colleagues for all the years of continued support. After completing over 200+ films, TV and web shows, commercials, and trailers during our stay here, we continue to remain focused and look forward to building a better, stronger Monkeyland. Call us for a tour of the new facility and please be sure to join us on Facebook and Twitter for many Monkey updates!
Thank you,
Your Friends at Monkeyland
