Dylan Menges

Creative Director, The Fort

10 Speed Studios was awesome! We were having a difficult time locating talent in the area and Shannon went out of his way to assist. My team said the studio looked amazing – and said there were so many awesome places to shoot (inside and outside). We will definitely use 10 Speed Studios again in the future.

Anthony Douglas

Creative Director, LaLviv

Excellent studio space! It was super easy to book, and the response was quick! The infinity wall worked great for what we needed, and there was plenty of options to work with as far as backgrounds. Price was comparable to other rentals in the area. Would definitely recommend, and I look forward to coming back in the future!

Tyler Cox

Filmmaker, Farmbrook Media

Super cool space with lots of amenities. Shannon was an absolute pleasure to work with. We were able to rearrange the furniture and decor to create an apartment scene in addition to using the white seamless. This space worked well for our shoot and we are excited to add 10 Speed Studios to our toolbox of great spaces to rent.

Kara Bottoms

President & CEO, PPA Agency

Very professional space with the potential for so many projects. Well equipped with lighting and backdrops and props. Enough space for a larger team to come work in as well. Will be back again soon!

Betty Ra

Photographer, THERAS Photography

Very adaptable space. Perfectly designed. Professional environment, tools, and talent. 10 SPEED Studios is the place to produce top level images and footage in Columbus without the pretense and nonsense. Shannon Williams is the type of creative partner every growing business needs.
