Nauti Studios’ Sydney Glebe

Nauti Studios is a versatile filming and photography location in Sydney offering several industrial shoot locations within one site. The venue combines a large industrial warehouse with a light-filled space, allowing for diverse looks and simple setup.

The Deep is a spacious industrial warehouse that boasts concrete floors, high ceilings, drive-in access, and plenty of access to power points. The space supports vehicle access, set builds, lighting rigs, and medium- to large-sized crews.
