About Grand Street Media
Grand Street Media is an independent film, video production and post-production studio based in Manhattan’s Flatiron District. It develops corporate films, commercials, branded content and non-fiction documentaries, supporting projects from initial concept through finished delivery. Its work spans business communications, advertising, digital entertainment and campaigns for nonprofit organizations.
Founded in 2002, the company expanded through a partnership formed in 2008 and incorporated in New York in 2009. Its production model brings creative development, physical production and post-production together within a single operation. Alongside complete productions, it provides crew staffing, equipment rentals and studio facilities for projects that need selected production resources.
From planning to post-production
Pre-production capabilities include concept development, scriptwriting, storyboarding, casting, location scouting, permitting and shoot planning. Production services cover directing, cinematography, location sound, teleprompter operation, hair and makeup, and grip and electric work. The studio also handles live and live-to-tape multicamera production, giving clients options for both recorded programming and switched productions.
Post-production encompasses editing, motion graphics, animation, visual effects compositing, color grading, sound design and audio mastering. Its facilities include a green screen soundstage, editing suites and animation workstations, supported by lighting and grip equipment. Prop, scenery and set fabrication extend its capabilities beyond camera and editorial work. A mobile grip truck and production van support location filming throughout New York City and the surrounding Tri-State area.
Corporate, documentary and branded work
The report describes an annual workload exceeding 200 corporate shoots, alongside commercial spots and documentary projects. Its portfolio includes a sustained documentary collaboration with The Doe Fund, production for Sesame Studios’ Clay Creatures, and multiple seasons of Maximum Warrior for Maxim Magazine.
Commercial and branded assignments include work for MetLife, Staples, Haemonetics, WAC Lighting, GuardLab and Contigo. The broader portfolio also encompasses music videos, independent short film production and political campaign media, reflecting a mix of commissioned business content and entertainment production.
