Riverside Studios
Welcome to Riverside Studios, 13,000 sq. ft. of high-spec facilities, inspiration, and boundless creativity.
Situated on the doorstep of one of the city’s most vibrant destinations, the building is a stone’s throw from vital industry hotspots, such as Manchester Studios, ABC, and The Factory.
Within easy reach of Space Studios and Media City, MetFilm School Manchester students feel like they are stepping straight into the industry from day one of their undergraduate degree course, and not simply learning about it from a distance.
Production Studios
Riverside Studios houses two incredible production studios.
Studio 1 is a 1500 sq. ft. bespoke drama film set enabling students to familiarise themselves with set etiquette, chains of command, multi-camera film directing and all aspects of what it’s really like to work on set in the industry.
Studio 2 includes a green screen infinity cove for music promos and live TV filming. Attached facilities include the gallery, green room, make-up space, and guest waiting area.
Student Areas
There are several open spaces at Riverside Studios, including a learning resource area with a circular glazed library overlooking the river, as well as student lounges, and multiple meeting rooms for production meetings.
The building was previously home to the headquarters of The Farm Group– one of the world’s leading providers of post-production services that have recently worked on projects such as It’s A Sin, Gentlemen Jack, The Last Tango in Halifax, All Creatures Great and Small, and Naked Attraction.
Facilities
Riverside Studios houses full-spec edit suites equipped with industry-standard software such as Avid, Adobe Suite, DaVinci Resolve Studio and Final Cut X. There are two Mac rooms, a screening room, and an abundance of professional-standard camera kit..
Students at MetFilm School Manchester benefit from highly-equipped facilities for work and study. Students take great pride in the impressive client-facing facilities in which they audition talent for their productions.
