John Schneider ( Bo Duke)Studios Officially Opens in Holden, Louisiana

John Schneider Studios officially opened in January 2014 offering a production studio conveniently located in Holden, LA just 1 hour from the New Orleans Airport, and less than 45 minutes from Baton Rouge.

The studio, owned by John R Schneider (of Dukes of Hazzard, Smallville and Have & Have Nots), currently offers a 5,000 square foot soundstage with 20 foot ceilings, and a variety of interesting locations for filming including a river location, a lake location, a swamp location, and a “Southeast Asia” style bamboo forest.

The property also boasts two homes (circa 1910 and 1950) suitable for location filming both inside and out, and has outbuildings that include an enclosed cafeteria/production office and a covered eating area. The property also has a 250,000 gallon swimming pool with a diving board at 14 feet deep.

Plans are in place to add post production sound (from pre-mix to final), and editing capabilities (Final Cut and Avid) by May of 2014, along with an on-site chef and living quarters for key crew which would assist with project flow and consistency allowing staff to live on premises in a focused and convenient working environment with minimal distraction.LINK
