Amenities
Summary
A cosy photo/film studio in Digbeth, Birmingham. One of the most reviewed venues in the city with 143 Tagvenue ratings. Hire from £18/hr — among the lowest rates in Birmingham — for up to 10 people.
About this location
Black Star Studio has accumulated 143 reviews on Tagvenue, making it the most-reviewed filming venue in Birmingham on the platform. That volume of bookings points to a venue that works reliably for the entry-level and mid-range of the market: social media content, headshots, small-scale product shoots, and low-budget short-form production. The Digbeth location fits the creative neighbourhood well. At £18 per hour it undercuts most comparable studios in the city and opens up access for solo shooters and student productions that couldn’t otherwise afford studio time. The small capacity (up to 10 people) is the main constraint — this is a one-to-two-person crew space rather than a full production environment. Within that scope, the high review count confirms it delivers consistently.
