Our Mission
At Standing Sets Productions, we see Toronto as one massive standing set.
Our mission is to give filmmakers unprecedented access to shoot anywhere from the rooftop of a Class A office tower to the lowest parking garage level. We specialize in capturing and cataloging office environments — from raw concrete floors to fully built-out and furnished spaces, including period-accurate settings.
This website is designed with the filmmaker in mind. We’ve built a searchable image library to streamline your hunt for the perfect location — saving time and bringing your vision to life faster.
Standing Set works closely with property managers, building owners, and the film community. We coordinate site visits to accelerate your creative process, and we handle the logistics with both parties — from film license agreements to the on-site details — to ensure a smooth filming experience with minimal disruption to property management.
With 23 years of experience and over 500 successful filming sessions, Standing Set stands alone as the premier connection point between Class A properties and the film industry.

As Owner/Director of Standing Set Productions, Erik Snyder is a former film location manager who has conducted over 500 filming sessions as a film resource manager in Class A buildings throughout the GTA, on rooftops, in common areas, exteriors, and garages, and predominantly in untenanted office spaces.
