Directions[edit]

From Crosstown Boulevard (I-579), take Bigelow Boulevard toward Oakland. Bear left where Craig Street splits off. At the next traffic signal, turn left onto Baum Boulevard. Go one block, then turn left at the signal onto Melwood Avenue. Continue down the (long) block until you see a building on the left with "Filmmakers" on the front. If you reach an intersection (Denver Street), you've just passed it.

From Central Oakland, take Craig Street north, crossing Centre Avenue. At the next traffic signal, turn right onto Baum Boulevard. Go one block, then turn left at the signal onto Melwood Avenue. Continue down the (long) block until you see a building on the left with "Filmmakers" on the front. If you reach an intersection (Denver Street), you've just passed it.

From East Liberty and other points east, take Baum Boulevard heading west. After crossing Neville Avenue, turn right at the next traffic signal onto Melwood Avenue. Continue down the (long) block until you see a building on the left with "Filmmakers" on the front. If you reach an intersection (Denver Street), you've just passed it.

There is street parking on Melwood Avenue. A parking lot sitting across the street from the building is owned by the University of Pittsburgh - you are subject to being ticketed or towed for parking there without the appropriate permit, but it's not clear how vigorously this is enforced.
