The center of The Los Angeles Film School campus is the historic RCA Building at 6363 Sunset Boulevard. This Hollywood landmark was home to the recording studios where Elvis Presley, the Rolling Stones, the Grateful Dead, and scores of other musicians recorded some of their most memorable music. The building currently houses the Main Stage, the 7th and 9th floor studio spaces, an Audio and Film Dub Stage and Foley Stage, the 330-seat Main Theatre and Lobby, the Campus Library, and classrooms. The building is also home to several historic Echo Chambers, notable for the distinctive “RCA Sound” that became synonymous with high quality audio production. 

BUILDING 2

Adjacent to the RCA Building is the six-story building at 6353 Sunset, which was previously the home of the Klasky Csupo animation studio. This building houses the Chaplin Green Screen Stage, the Kurosawa/Bergman Stages, the Fellini Stage, the Hitchcock Stage, the Keaton Stage, the Selma backlot, the B2 Theatre and Lobby, the Admissions Theatre, the Film Production Equipment Room, and classrooms. The Los Angeles Film School’s main lobby is located here. 

RECORDING SCHOOL

The Los Angeles Recording School is a division of The Los Angeles Film School. The Recording School building houses 14 recording studios, including two SSL Duality studios, two Foley/ADR suites, a Neve Genesys Black studio, an API 1608 Studio, two Avid S6 studios that allow mixing in surround and Dolby Atmos, and digital production suites. The building also houses classrooms and lecture halls. 

IVAR THEATRE

The historic Ivar Theatre contains two performance spaces: a fully equipped 231-seat live event performance space and a smaller performance space in the rear of the building. These spaces are used for educational labs and special events throughout the academic year. These spaces have a rich history of hosting musical acts going back to the 1960s, including the Grateful Dead, Iron Butterfly, Machine Gun Kelly, and the Mothers of Invention.
