Line 204 currently offers genuine Hollywood sound stages to the Southern California market with a touch of modern design and southern flare. 204’s main studio campus is located smack dab in the middl’a Hollywood with sound stages, private production offices, and conference rooms with on-site grip, film lighting, and photo equipment that never leaves the facility, allowing us to keep it in tip top shape. Our private production offices and conference room with a huge 80SF conference table and lounge space are perfect for production, table reads, studio meetings and wrap parties.

Line 204 is also the parent company to 204 Events and Angstrom Lighting which are all housed in our Pacoima, CA warehouse location.

“Line 204 is continually growing and so is our reputation as Hollywood’s ultimate one-stop shop”, Line 204’s owner and operator Alton Butler beams. “Our commitment to remaining a family business and passing those values on to our clients remains the same. We’re in the relationship business first and the rental business second.” And he means it. We consider our customers family, and we treat them that way.

Southern Hospitality is what we’re offering here, folks. We stand behind anything and everything we put our 204 logo on. Maybe that’s why we’re the go-to guys for so many people in our industry. People keep coming back, year after year, simply because we’ve given them no reason to leave.

So whether you’re shooting a technically-challenging TV spot, a network gallery, or the next iconic magazine cover, Line 204’s got everything a great production needs. When we say “everything,” we’re not talking about 10-year-old equipment held together with gaffer tape. Because if we wouldn’t use it, we sure as heck wouldn’t ask you to. While you’re at it, leave your calculators at home. Our stages are rented on a 12 hr day with flat rates and no hidden fees.

In 2020, Line 204 began construction on our 10-acre, 240,000-square-foot, 10-stage studio lot, which will be Los Angeles’s largest studio facility built from the ground up in more than 30 years. And the dream does not stop there, as our expansion plan includes a return to the South. Where you ask…You’ll just have to probe a little deeper.

Our History

Once upon a time, not long ago, Line 204’s story started with a man named Alton Butler working out of his garage. The story is best told through photos, so take a look at where we started and check back for news on where we’re fixin’ to go. It’s bound to be good.
