Avalon Studios is a purpose-built screen production facility at 41 Percy Cameron Street in Avalon, Lower Hutt, close to Wellington. The site is described as quiet, secure and private, with an extended backlot village. The complex brings studios, support facilities and production businesses under one roof, so film and television productions can work together on one site. It offers studio spaces of different sizes, production offices and workshops, prop storage, costume and makeup areas, cast rooms and meeting rooms.
The studio supports drama, comedy, documentary and light entertainment, and it has facilities for virtual production and motion capture. It is a member of SPADA, the Screen Guild and Create Wellington, and it is part of the NZ Aotearoa Studio Group. The studio says it is open to partnerships. Producers who have worked there describe it as easy to set up in, with printer and internet ready from the first day of preparation, and say the staff are quick to solve problems. Parking is easy, and the back lots and outside areas are often used as locations. Nearby sporting grounds, shops, restaurants and bars are close by.
