From their meager beginnings with a lone studio in a flour silo room of the famous Silver Cup Bakery in 1983, Silver Cup Studios has since gone on to emerge as one of the largest independent full-service film and television production facilities in the country.
Located in Long Island City, New York, the studios are now spread over thirteen shooting stages, and offer an eclectic array of facilities like on-site production offices, extensive sets, props and wardrobe storage areas. The convenient location of the studios, with midtown Manhattan, the Queens Midtown Tunnel and the Queenboro Bridge only minutes away, has rendered the studios a popular choice for several noteworthy productions. Spread over 16,000 square feet, with grid heights of up to 28 feet, the studios lavish film makers and television production companies with the dual benefits of tall, spacious studios and the latest that technology has to offer.
Every bit as impressive as the production facilities are the on-site lighting provisions that Silver Cup boasts of. Producers can also craft detailed, elaborate sets at the lumber yard, which is equipped with the latest paint hardware and other set building facilities. Not far behind is the location lighting company, aptly labeled SilverTrucks Lighting, which provides generators, lighting, grip equipment truck and a host of other services to enterprising commercial producers.
Today, the numerous renowned productions - like the feature film 'Music and Lyrics', the popular television series called 'The Sopranos' while also the Hollywood Blockbuster titled 'The Devil Wears Prada' — which have been filmed at the Silver Cup Studios, have deemed it one of the most noteworthy landmarks in Long Island City. The studios are also a popular venue for magazine shoots, having hosted names like Vogue, Victoria's Secret and The Gap, while also setting the stage for more than 400 commercials every year.
