Tribeca · 4th floor, Broadway side · 393 Broadway
The Cast Iron Fire Escape
A gold cast iron fire escape off the 4th-floor loft, looking across Broadway at 19th-century facades. Small shoots only, under a strict safety plan.
From our scout
- The classic New York shot: cast iron railings, the ladder and Broadway's facades behind your talent.
- Shoot from the platform, or from inside the loft through the window for a framed look.
- This is a working fire escape, so safety comes first. Every shoot follows a safety plan we agree with you before booking.
- A spotter stands on the street below the whole time anyone is on the escape and keeps people from walking underneath.
- Small shoots only. Tell us your headcount and gear list up front and we confirm what can go out on the platform.
- The escape hangs over the Broadway sidewalk, so this is exterior work. Ask us whether your setup needs a MOME film permit.
