Half Court Studio utilizes a flexible rate model for non-commercial projects, with a goal to help build the local creative economy while supporting emerging artists and underrepresented groups in Portland's production community. To discuss billing on a sliding scale, please email us directly.
Rate is based on a 10 hr day and includes access to house grip package. We do not currently offer half-day or hourly rentals.
Stage Painting Fees:
The studio cyc is painted clean white at the start of each stage rental.
If the cyc is not clean following your shoot (dirt/footprints/etc), you are responsible for the labor and materials to return the stage back to clean white.

As a quick guide, 95% of shoots need the floor repainted with one coat afterward, which is $100.
