Est. 2016 — Lowell, MA
Beantown Studios was founded in 2016 by Charlie and Mel Alejandro, with the support of Seng 2KX and Johnson Sea. Their shared mission: give independent artists and filmmakers access to a world-class production space without the Hollywood price tag.
What started as a vision became a 2,000 sq ft award-winning warehouse studio in Lowell, MA — home to dozens of music videos, feature films, dance productions, and commercial shoots. Every set, every light, every prop was chosen with creators in mind.
Over the past decade, Beantown Studios has produced award-winning projects including The Trap (now streaming on Amazon Prime Video), Fields of Diamonds, Stillness of the Run, Code 13 Unreadable, Kahdiak's Kitchen, and many more. In 2026, the studio was recognized by Peerspace with an Open Door Award — one of the most extraordinary production spaces in the world.
