LOT23 Studio, Eden Terrace was the address for Auckland’s longest running, most central, soundproof film studio, hosting thousands of film-makers through it’s doors since it was built in 1979. From 2013 to 2024 LOT23 was the proud kaitiaki of this iconic and hard working studio. LOT23 not only operated as a film studio, both for our own work and for other production companies, but we also utlised the space as a bespoke independent performing arts venue.

Alongside the studio unit LOT23 also created and delivered a public program of free and ticketed events that included a wide variety of musical gigs, live performance, experimental theatre comedy, panel discussions, fashion shows, live broad casts, market days, networking and activism events, spoken word evenings and listening parties associated with Pride, Auckland Arts Festival, Auckland Photography Festival, various music labels, international touring DJ’s, creative and social change agencies, independent artists and community initiatives.

LOT23 Studio has evolved into LOT23 Media, now based in Kingsland, focussing on the production, post-production and VFX for high-production, high-resolution, large-scale, long-format moving image work for artists and filmmakers working on the international stage.
