Logistics

Every festival venue is a short drive from our studio

The festival's venues sit within about 2 miles of each other in Boulder, with headquarters at the Hotel Boulderado. Earth Coast Studios is in Broomfield, about 25 minutes away via US-36 — close enough that crew, gear, and edit capacity stay local for the whole week, and a second camera or a replacement encoder is a drive, not a shipment.

We produce in Front Range venues year-round and keep a directory of Boulder event venues with outside-AV policies, capacities, and production notes. The festival venue guide covers the official venues and the hotels, restaurants, and galleries around them.

Distances are straight-line from Earth Coast Studios, rounded; drive times are typical off-peak estimates.

Why a Colorado-based partner

The footprint out-of-state crews don't have

15 years of Colorado live events

Earth Coast Productions has produced livestreams, conference AV, and multi-day event content across the Front Range since 2011 — including Xcel Energy's Quarterly Town Halls and Leadership Summits and the Dentist Entrepreneur Organization's national events, programs at the same scale as festival-week programming.

A studio and gear inventory 25 minutes away

We bring our own cameras, switching, streaming, audio, and lighting and own the entire signal chain. No freight, no travel days, no per diem — and a broadcast-quality studio in Broomfield for the sessions that don't need to happen in a Boulder suite.

Local crew and local venue knowledge

Producers, camera operators, audio technicians, editors, and a production coordinator who live here. We know the Boulder docks, house rules, and the IT departments because we have worked in most of these rooms, and we keep a public venue directory to prove it.

Mission-driven client DNA

Our client list runs to nonprofits, B-Corps, foundations, public agencies, and founder-led companies — work that rewards care over spectacle. That is a better cultural match for the independent-film world than a corporate staging house.

Brand activation agencies, publicists, sponsors, and media outlets typically lock local production partners between September and December for a late-January festival. Earth Coast Productions recommends confirming dates by early November 2026 for the January 21–31, 2027 festival: passes go on sale in October and the lineup is announced in December, and crew and gear holds for festival week are assigned in the order they are confirmed.
