A new film studio is coming to town, and it’s looking to be right up there among the largest in Chicago. The Fields Studios recently launched a website and Instagram page, billing itself as the “first purpose-built studio campus in Chicago and was meticulously designed For Producers, By Producers.” Located at 4000 W Diversey Ave, the studio will be within easy access of the Chicago Film Scene’s weekly Wednesday night event at the Arrogant Frog.
